Born in Germany on January 1st, 2000, 25-year-old Nicolas Kuhn is a forward for Celtic FC, exceptionally deployed as a right winger. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.76m) tall and weighing 10st 12lb (69kg), Kuhn skilfully handles the responsibility of number 10 on the Celtic jersey. Presently, his market value revolves around €10.00m (£8.5m), as reported on Transfermarkt. With his contract with Celtic marking its expiry on 30th June 2029, Kuhn's tenure at the club is expected to last for another 4 and a half years.
Kuhn’s journey began in 2015 when he joined RB Leipzig II as a trainee whilst still in the Oberliga in Germany. After a few seasons, he relocated to Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands in January 2018 with a sum of around £1.8m sealing his transfer. Kuhn’s foray with Jong Ajax witnessed his raw talent evolving over time as he made some significant contributions in the games he played. After making 5 appearances during his debut season, Kuhn upped his performance, making 21 and 17 appearances in his subsequent seasons with Jong Ajax.
In January 2020 Kuhn made his next move, transferring from Jong Ajax to Bayern München II, still playing within the Oberliga. His transfer fee remains undisclosed. Kuhn had a productive stint here, making 16 and 21 first-team appearances in his two seasons at Bayern München II, where he even managed to net a few goals.
July 2021 saw Kuhn making a temporary shift from Bayern München II to Erzgebirge Aue on loan. His embrace of the 3. Liga experience was evident as he managed to make 27 first-team appearances.
Next, Kuhn moved to Rapid Vienna, signing a deal for £450k in July 2022. His two seasons there were characterised by steady performances, with Kuhn making regular appearances and managing to find the back of the net a few times.
Kuhn's indomitable journey led him to Scotland in January 2024, when he transferred to Celtic FC from Rapid Vienna for £3m. His impact was immediate, with Kuhn making 14 first team appearances and scoring two goals in league matches during his debut season.
His performance in the current season (2024 - 2025) at Celtic only solidifies his worth as a valuable asset for the club. Kuhn's made 17 first team appearances and scored an impressive nine goals in league matches. His brilliance in the field doesn't stop with the league matches, as shown by his performance in the League Cup 2024 - 2025, where he netted five goals in four appearances and in the Champions League 2024 - 2025, scoring two goals in six starts.
