'We will' - Agent of £3m Celtic star directly addresses Brentford and Fulham transfer speculation

Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn has been subject to transfer speculation linking him over a move to Brentford and Fulham in the Premier League after an impressive spell at the Scottish side.

Kuhn’s agent revealed his stance over a transfer in January after reports emerged by Sky Sports Germany that both Brentford and Fulham were considering a move for the winger who signed for Celtic for £3m just one year ago from Rapid Vienna. He has since made 35 appearances, scoring 13 goals and 14 assists.

According to his agent, however, Kuhn is not interested in a move in January as he told the Daily Record: “The speculation is not an issue for us. We have found a home for Nicolas at Celtic. We are not, never, walking out on Celtic without being together with the club because this success story was created by Celtic.

“I know from my time at Rangers it was very hard to get something out of the television rights, so, of course, they need to find these success stories – identify a player, buy him for £3million and sell him for £20-£25million – but we will do everything together with the club.”

Brentford keen to sign Kuhn as future Mbuemo replacement

The Bees are very keen on landing the 24-year-old as a long-term replacement for star winger Bryan Mbuemo who has been subject to transfer interest from a number of top Premier League clubs in recent weeks.

Arsenal have been linked to Mbuemo and so have Liverpool and Newcastle as Brentford set their price at £50m for the Cameroonian who has scored eight goals so far this Premier League season making him the second-top scorer behind just Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.

If Mbuemo were to leave in the summer then Brentford may push harder to sign Kuhn as they will need to replace the attacking quality that the winger brings to Thomas Frank’s side. Celtic are set to price a hefty fee on Kuhn as they are reluctant to lose him, however, a £50m return for Mbuemo would help Brentford sign their target man whilst ensuring a profit which fits with the business model that Matthew Benham wants to stick to.
