Former Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham will participate in the 2022 World Cup finals.

The 26-year-old joined the Parkhead club in 2017, going on to lift three Scottish Premiership titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.

He left the club after a dip in form and falling out of favour, with a loan to Marseille failing to earn him a permanent deal with the Ligue 1 club.

Ntcham joined EFL Championship side Swansea in 2021 and has made over 50 appearances for the club, leading to an international call-up for Cameroon earlier this year.

The midfielder was born in France and represented that nation at every youth level from under-16 to under-21 but switched allegiance to Cameroon at senior level.

He will now get the chance to play at a World Cup after being named in Rigobert Song's 26-man squad for Qatar.

Once in the Middle East he will square off against Brazil, Serbia and Switzerland in Group G.
