Newcastle United are considering a summer move for Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn, according to Chronicle Live.
The player has caught the attention of Premier League scouts after an electric season in Scotland where he scored 21 goals and 15 assists across all competitions and helping Celtic secure the Scottish League Cup and a fourth consecutive Premiership title under Brendan Rodgers.
The German joined Celtic from Rapid Vienna in January 2024 and has since become a fan favorite at Parkhead.
He’s tallied 24 goals and 18 assists in 69 appearances for Celtic. Newcastle, led by Eddie Howe, have been monitoring Kuhn since the last transfer window and are now seriously considering a bid.
Per Chronicle Live, the Magpies view Kuhn as a cost-effective wide option with Celtic putting a £15 million [$20m] price tag on the star.
