Authenticity (3.5/5): TBR Football’s chief correspondent reports the news
Tottenham Hotspur are considering making a move for Nicholas Kuhn in January, with Ange Postecoglou keen on raiding his former club for the sensational forward.
The story comes from TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, who claims Spurs, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are all looking closely at the Celtic star.
Value (5/5): Affordable attacking star
The in-form forward, who has directly been involved in 25 goals for Celtic this season, was signed from Rapid Vienna for £3m in 2023.
It is claimed Celtic could be tempted to sell him in January and are expected to treble their money. Considering his stats, even £10 million appears to be a reasonable fee.
Suitability (3.5/5): Kuhn stands out with his versatility
Kuhn has mostly played as a right-winger for Celtic, however, it is suggested it is his versatility that has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs. As such, he could play in a number of positions in Postecoglou's 4-2-3-1.
Upgrade? (3/5): Good challenge for Kulusevski
Currently, Dejan Kulusevski is the first-choice right-winger under the Australian tactician. With five goals and four assists in the Premier League, the Swede has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign and is unlikely to be benched by the new potential arrival. However, Kuhn is still talented enough to pose a strong challenge for the starting spot.
Logic (4/5): Another risk worth taking for the journeyman
Kuhn has been on the books of several clubs, including Ajax and Bayern Munich II. He is used to adapting to different football styles and there is no reason why he shouldn't give Premier League football a try should Spurs make their move.
Whisper+ verdict: 19/25
Spurs are in a financial position to spend around £10 million on Kuhn so it's not an impossible move. However, they would have to ensure they guarantee him playing time amid interest from other clubs.
