Nicolas Kuhn was announced as Celtic’s first January signing late on Tuesday evening. The wide-man arrived from Rapid Vienna, penning a five-and-a-half-year deal in Glasgow.
Ultimate faith has been put in the German by Brendan Rodgers and the club’s hierarchy to give him such an extensive deal. Kuhn clearly is a player the Hoops believe will succeed.

Joining from Rapid, he does have a background at some top clubs. In the past, Kuhn has turned out for the likes of RB Leipzig, Ajax, and Bayern Munich.
His name is known throughout Europe and since he signed for The Bhoys, his popularity levels have taken a dramatic rise for the better.
