Celtic are on the verge of making their first signing of the January transfer window.

Football Scotland reports that Celtichas completed the signing of Nicolas Kuhn, with the player expected to travel to Scotland in the coming days, potentially as early as Monday, accompanied by his agents.

This transfer conclusion comes after a weekend of intense negotiations between Celtic and Kuhn’s former club.

Kuhn, a pacey winger, has been a top target for Celtic, and his commitment to the move was evident as he missed Rapid Vienna’s training camp and games to finalise the transfer.

The attraction to Celtic for Kuhn is largely credited to Brendan Rodgers, whose influence and reputation have played a significant role in swaying Kuhn’s decision, despite interest from other clubs.

The agreed transfer fee for Kuhn is reported to be just under £3 million.

He should be announced this week, and could potentially make the squad for the Scottish Cup match on Sunday.
