Nicolas Kuhn is Celtic transfer 'target' as Rapid Vienna demands are laid bare if business is to be done

Nicolas Kuhn has emerged as a potential January transfer target for Celtic, according to a report.

The former Ajax and Bayern Munich man is currently plying his trade with Rapid Vienna and can play both as a winger and striker with Brendan Rodgers keen to boost his options. The Hoops gaffer will be without Oh Hyeon-gyu, Hyunjun Yang and Daizen Maeda in the attacking positions with the trio called up for Asian Cup duty, but Kyogo Furuhashi will remain at Parkhead after his Japan snub.

Rodgers has made his intentions clear over recent weeks and months about adding real 'quality' additions to his ranks. The Scottish Sun stating Rapid are likely to demand at leas four times the £500,000 fee they shelled out for Kuhn 18 months ago to do business with the Scottish champions. He has netted three goals and provided seven assists to date this campaign across 22 appearances in all competitions. His arrival would boost numbers and competition in the final third ahead of the second half of the campaign.

The Scottish Premiership goes into cold storage for a couple of weeks following the conclusion of today's top flight card with the Hoops on the road at St Mirren in front of the Sky TV cameras in a 5pm evening kick-off. They go into that clash off the back of a big derby day win over Rangers and Philippe Clement last time out.

It looks set to be a busy month in Glasgow's east end with arrivals and departures expected. Nat Phillips' short-term loan from Liverpool expires while Yuki Kobayashi could join Yosuke Ideguchi in the J-League after his successful loan stint.
