Celtic have secured their first signing of the January transfer window with the acquisition of winger Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna. The deal, which is believed to be worth around £3 million, sees the 24-year-old German youth international join the Scottish champions on a five-and-a-half-year contract.
After a successful spell at Ajax and Bayern Munich’s second team, Kuhn moved to Rapid Vienna two years ago. Now, he is eager to make his mark at Celtic Park. Speaking to the club’s official website, Kuhn expressed his excitement about joining one of the biggest clubs in the world.
I feel great that I’m finally here and I can’t wait, Kuhn said. Celtic is one of the biggest clubs around, and I’m really happy to be here. I am really motivated to do well for this great club and I want to get working immediately as we face our challenges in the League and the Cup this year.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers believes that Kuhn’s arrival will provide a significant boost to the squad. We are delighted to welcome Nicolas to Celtic, Rodgers said. We believe he is a dynamic player who has an excellent level of quality, and all the attributes to fit well into our style of play.
Describing Kuhn as a player with great pace and ideas who can create and score goals, Rodgers highlighted his versatility, as he can play on both wings. The Celtic boss is eager to start working with Kuhn and believes he will make a positive impact on the team.
Kuhn’s signing comes as Celtic aims to secure their third consecutive Scottish Premiership title. With the addition of Kuhn and his attacking prowess, the club hopes to maintain their winning momentum and achieve success in both domestic and cup competitions.
Supporters will be eager to see what Kuhn can bring to the team, and the German winger is determined to repay their faith. In the end, at Celtic, it’s about doing all we can to win every game, so that is the challenge here, Kuhn stated. I can’t wait to get going and do my very best for our supporters.
Celtic’s capture of Kuhn marks an exciting start to their January transfer window. With the hope of further quality signings, the club is determined to strengthen their squad and continue their dominance in Scottish football.
Fans will be eagerly anticipating Kuhn’s debut as Celtic’s first January recruit, and his arrival promises to inject a burst of energy to the team as they push towards further success.
