Southampton have Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham on their summer shopping list.

The Sun says Saints chiefs have put the ex-Manchester City hopeful on their shortlist after making contact before the January window shut.

Ntcham, 23, still has a long contract at Celtic but could be priced at a sensible level in the summer.

Saints may sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, 24, in the summer to make space in their squad.

The Danish midfielder has gathered admirers with his form this season.

Ntcham would leap at a move, especially as he has not been a regular under Hoops boss Neil Lennon.
