Nicolas Kuhn, born on the 1st of January 2000 (age 25), is a German forward who primarily plays as a right winger for Celtic Football Club. Kuhn stands at 1.76m (5ft 9in) tall and tips the scales at 69kg (10st 12lb). Currently, he represents Celtic wearing the prominent number 10 jersey.

As of the moment, his market value is pegged around £10.5m, as estimated by Transfermarkt. His contract with Celtic is slated to run for a further 4 years, 2 months, expectant to expire on the 30th of June 2029.

Nicolas Kuhn began his footballing journey in July 2015, joining RB Leipzig II in the German Oberliga as a trainee. In January 2018, he made the move from RB Leipzig II to Jong Ajax in the Netherlands, a transfer that cost an approximate sum of £1.8m.

During Jong Ajax' 2017 - 2018 season, Kuhn made five first-team appearances in league matches. In the following season, he managed 21 first-team appearances and netted twice. His third season (2019 - 2020) saw him continue his gradual progression, racking up 17 appearances and three goals.

January 2020 brought a new chapter for Kuhn, as he transferred to Bayern München II in the Oberliga in Germany; this time, for an undisclosed fee. He scored twice in 16 appearances during the 2019 - 2020 season, and followed up by notching four goals in 21 appearances in the subsequent season.

In July 2021, Kuhn had a short loan stint at Erzgebirge Aue in Germany's 3. Liga, where he made 27 appearances and netted thrice. In July of the following year, he switched from Bayern München II to Rapid Vienna in Austria's Bundesliga for a cost of about £450k. His spell at Rapid Vienna spawned 36 appearances and five goals across two seasons.

January 2024 marked a significant moment in Kuhn's career as he transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for an estimated fee of £3m. His maiden half-season at Celtic in Scotland was promising, making 14 first-team appearances and scoring twice. The current 2024 - 2025 season has seen him excel further, with a tally of 13 goals from 32 appearances in league matches.

In addition to his league contributions, Kuhn has also made his mark in other competitions. In the League Cup 2024 - 2025, he found the back of the net five times in three starts and a substitute appearance, and in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025, he had four starts and a substitution. He has also represented Celtic in the Champions League 2024 - 2025, scoring three goals in ten starts.
