Olivier Ntcham has joined Marseille on loan until the end of the season.
The Celtic midfielder will meet his new teammates this week after agreeing to depart Parkhead.
The deal carries an option of a permanent £4.5million transfer down the line should the French outfit like what they see this term.
It comes after the player was one of the stars Neil Lennon accused of being 'wantaway' last year. We revealed at the time that Ntcham had asked his representatives to find out how much Celtic would be willing to sell him on for.
FC Porto and Marseille previously tried to signn the player and Newcastle were linked with a transfer deadline day switch today.
But he has now been confirmed a Marseille player.
Celtic wrote on social media: "Olivier Ntcham has joined @OM_English on loan until the end of the season. Good luck @OlivierNtcham," accompanied by a France flag emoji.
