Olivier Ntcham's impressive start to the season appears to have seen the Celtic star gain new admirers far and wide.

According to reports in France, Portuguese giants Porto have been in touch with the midfielder's representatives and believe a transfer could be pushed through should Celtic fail to qualify for the Champions League group stage.

While the Hoops will fight to hold on to the French star, it seems they are resigned to losing defender Dedryck Boyata.

The Belgian centre-half has missed Brendan Rodgers' side's trip to Athens for their crunch qualifier, a situation the manager described as "sad".

And, according to reports, Boyata is now expected to put pen to paper on a move to Sevilla.
