West Ham are reportedly in advanced talks to sign midfielder Olivier Ntcham from Celtic.

Hammers boss David Moyes has been looking to further dip into the transfer market before the January transfer window shuts at the end of the week, having already completed the signing of Tomas Soucek.

They are moving for a number of players – including Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez – and are also thought to be pushing for Celtic midfielder Ntcham.

According to French outlet Foot Mercato (via Inside Futbol), West Ham are in advanced negotiations to sign the 23-year-old this month.

 

 

Ntcham had appeared likely to leave Celtic last summer and had interest from several clubs, but ended up staying put at Celtic Park.

The midfielder could now be set to head back to England, where he spent time on the books at Manchester City, to help West Ham in their relegation battle.
