Olivier Ntcham, born on 9 February 1996 in France, currently holds a midfield position, specifically as central midfielder for Samsunspor. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighing approximately 12st 8lb (80kg), the Cameroonian international athlete dons the number 10 jersey on the field.

His professional career began with a transfer in July 2015 from Manchester City in the Premier League in England to Genoa in the Serie A in Italy, where during his first season, he made 17 first team appearances in league matches. Improvement came in the subsequent 2016-2017 season where he made 20 appearances and netted three goals for Genoa.

July 2017 marked a significant move in Ntcham's career when he transferred from Manchester City to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a fee of around ยฃ4.5m. His stint at Celtic was marked by steady performances across multiple seasons. In his inaugural 2017-2018 season, he made 29 appearances and scored five goals; he followed this with 20 appearances and three goals in 2018-2019. Ntcham then logged 23 appearances and four goals in 2019-2020, and the 2020-2021 season saw him make 14 appearances with a single goal to his credit.

In a move away from Scotland, Ntcham was loaned out to Marseille in the French Ligue 1 in February 2021. Despite making four appearances for the team in the 2020-2021 season, his stay was brief and culminated in a transfer from Celtic to Swansea City in the English Championship in September 2021. In his first season with Swansea city, Ntcham made a significant contribution with 37 appearances and four goals. His impressive performances continued into the 2022-2023 season, making 41 appearances and scoring eight goals.

An undisclosed fee in August 2023 saw Ntcham transfer to Samsunspor in the Turkish Sรผper Lig. His tenure with the Turkish team in the 2023-2024 season included 27 first team appearances and six goals, while the ongoing 2024-2025 season has seen him make eight appearances so far, netting four goals.

Internationally, Ntcham represented Samsunspor in the Africa CON 2023 with three starts and one substitute appearance. He also represented Cameroon in the World Cup Qualifiers Africa 2024 - 2026, managing to score one goal in one start and one appearance as a substitute.
