Nicolas Kuhn, a sprightly forward who hails from Germany, was born on 1st January 2000, making him 25 years old at present. Primarily known for his proficient role as a right winger for Celtic, Kuhn stands at 5ft 9in (1.76m) tall and weighs a sturdy 10st 12lb (69kg). Seen proudly donning the number 10 jersey, his platform on the pitch is beyond dispute.
Being a vital asset to Celtic, it is little wonder that Kühn's current market value oscillates at the hefty sum of around €12.00m (£10.4m), according to Transfermarkt. His contract at Parkhead is due to expire on 30 June 2029, which means he still has a solid 4 years and 2 months to further gratify the Celtic faithful with his talent.
Kühn began his career as a trainee at RB Leipzig II in July 2015, in the Oberliga in Germany. In January 2018, he was transferred to Jong Ajax in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands for a rounded amount of £1.8m. During his debut season (2017-2018), Kühn made 5 first team appearances in league matches. This increased to 21 appearances with two goals in the 2018-2019 season and 17 appearances with three goals in the 2019-2020 season.
January 2020 saw a significant strategic move for Kühn. He was transferred from Jong Ajax to Bayern München II, again in the Oberliga in Germany. The fee for this transfer remains undisclosed. His stint at Bayern München II was productive with 16 first team appearances and two goals in the 2019–2020 season, and 21 appearances with four goals during the 2020–2021 season.
In July 2021, Kühn moved on loan to Erzgebirge Aue in the 3. Liga in Germany. Here, across the 2021–2022 season, he made 27 first team appearances and scored three goals. His departure from Bayern München II was finalized in July 2022, with Kühn transferring to Rapid Vienna in the Bundesliga in Austria for an estimated fee of £450k. Across two seasons (2022–2024) at Rapid Vienna, he made 36 first team appearances and put five goals past the keeper.
Celtic were quick to spot Kühn's growing prowess, and in January 2024, they secured him from Rapid Vienna for around £3m. Since his arrival, Kühn has proven an invaluable asset for the Scottish Premiership giants. Having scored two goals from 14 first team appearances in the remainder of the 2023-2024 season, Kühn has upped his game considerably in the current 2024-2025 season, bagging 12 goals from 29 appearances. As a testament to his suitability for Celtic, he also performed exceptionally well in the League Cup 2024-2025, with five goals in three starts, and the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 as well as the Champions League 2024-2025, with three more goals in ten starts.
