Southampton know Celtic want to do Ntcham business

Southampton are aware of Olivier Ntcham's availability at Celtic.

The Daily Echo says given the uncertainty surrounding Premier League football, Saints aren't placing a potential transaction high on their list of priorities.

Fraser Forster, along with fellow Saint Moi Elyounoussi, spent the season on loan with Celtic and helped guide them to a ninth consecutive league title, although the current campaign was curtailed amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has made no secret of his desire to ensure Forster remains as the club's first-choice goalkeeper going into next season.

Forster has fallen out of favour at Saints and, due to his substantial wages and lengthy contract, is a player they could do with selling.

Ntcham has caught Saints' attention and, as has been reported in Scotland, Celtic are open to letting him go this summer.
