Respected source names 24-year-old German that Celtic have been tracking all season

The winger is now at Rapid Vienna, where he is valued at over £2 million, although his resume includes stints at Bayern Munich, Ajax, and RB Leipzig.

Jota left Celtic during the summer transfer window, while Luis Palma, Marco Tilio, and Yang Hyun-jun were added; nevertheless, only the Honduran has had a significant effect on Brendan Rodgers’ team.

After serving for the Asian Cup, Tilio appears to be heading out on loan to an A-League team, since the Celtic manager has stated that January is more about recruiting quality players than potential.

This year hasn’t seen Celtic have agreements in place before January 1st like past years, but according to The Sun:

Nicolas Kuhn, a winger for Rapid Vienna, is a target for CELTIC in January.

The 24-year-old German has reportedly been monitored by the Hoops this season, according to SunSport.

Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, is eager to expand his offensive options in the upcoming weeks.

Kuhn, a former Ajax and Bayern Munich prospect who can also play striker, has caught the attention of the Hoops after making an impression with Rapid.

The Austrians are anticipated to demand at least four times the £500,000 they paid for him eighteen months ago.

The report includes:

The attacker, a left-winger who resembles Patrick Roberts, likes to play off the right.

Kuhn has been a vital player for Rapid this season, tallying three goals and seven assists in 22 games.

Germany captained him at every young level, and clubs fought for his signing as he was heralded as a kid prodigy.

Five years ago, Ajax paid £1.8 million to sign him from RB Leipzig, but he was never successful in breaking into the first squad.

In 2020, Bayern brought him back to Germany, but just for B-team matches.Then, eighteen months ago, Kuhn relocated to Rapid and has since made a name for himself there.

He was recently listed as one of the top 12 “chance creators” in international football by data and scouting website Wyscout. Although Kuhn has a contract that expires in 2026, a move to Celtic is probably appealing.

The report’s author, David Friel, disclosed Neil Lennon’s departure 10 hours before to the stock market announcement in February 2021.

After playing St. Mirren on Tuesday, Celtic won’t play again in the SPFL until January 27 at home against Ross County.
