Odsonne Edouard believes Olivier Ntcham is a shoe-in for success at Marseille.
The Celtic midfielder endured a rough start to his Ligue 1 loan move but has raked in the plaudits over the past week.
His arrival at OM was marked by former boss Andre Villas-Boas claiming he'd said no to the transfer.
The manager offered to resign but was later sacked, with Ntcham then making his debut in a Coupe de France win over Auxerre.
Christopher Jullien sent his support to the 24-year-old last week and now Edouard has joined in, insisting club and player will be a "good mix".
He said: “I see him winning and succeeding. He has the qualities, and mentally he’s ready.
"So, I don’t see any reason why he doesn’t succeed because he’s a player with a strong character.
"So, I think between the Marseille fans and him, it’s going to be a good mix."
France U-21 boss Sylvain Ripoli echoed Edouard's sentiment, predicting Ntcham will prove a shrewd acquisition.
He said: "He’s a modern midfielder capable of both defending well and also projecting himself and having an impact on the offensive phase of his team.
"He’s a player that I really appreciate and I think he’s a very good signing for Marseille."
