The next transfer priority for Brendan Rodgers has been identified, and the deal involving 24 years-old SK Rapid Wien Forward Nicolas Kuhn is facing its final obstacle before being revealed

With additional players on the way for the leaders of the Scottish Premiership, the Parkhead manager is getting ready to make his first signing of the month of January.

Nicolas Kuhn has come in Glasgow to provide the Celtic with firepower, and Brendan Rodgers and his recruitment team have put another striker in their sights for the month of January in order to relieve the pressure that Kyogo Furuhashi is under.

German winger Kuhn finished his medical examination in London and then flew to Glasgow Friday night to finalize his long-term contract. His agent, Christian Nerlinger, who had previously played for Rangers, accompanied him on this trip.

Approximately three million dollars, in addition to any add-ons, will be paid to Rapid Vienna by the Hoops. It seems expected that the 24-year-old player will be allowed to make his debut in the Scottish Cup match against Buckie Thistle on Sunday, provided that he receives clearance from the international community.

Rodgers has implemented a more hands-on approach to the recruitment process for Celtic in the month of January.He is looking for individuals who can immediately improve his starting eleven and team after they are entered into the game. The recruitment staff at Celtic, which is overseen by Mark Lawwell, is now looking into a number of loan options in order to find a striker, which continues to be a priority for the club.

Celtic has the ability to make a purchase during this window; however, they would only do so if the transaction was favorable, with the summer window being the window that brings in the most value. There are a few other ideas for the English Premier League that have already been considered.

In light of the fact that Daizen Maeda is a member of the Japan squad and Oh is now competing for South Korea at the Asian Games, Rodgers is eager to acquire another striker. It is possible that he will not return until February if they continue to advance further into the competition. Because of this, Celtic is lacking in frontline choices behind Kyogo, and Rodgers needs more options as he strives to retain Celtic at the top of the Premiership pile and to lead them to victory in the Scottish Cup.

An additional objective for Celtic is to acquire a left-sided player, and the club is likely to consider offers in the event that an Argentine player named Alexandro Bernabei is acquired. Thiago Araunjo, who plays for Estoril, is still being considered, although an agreement regarding their price of four million pounds has not yet been reached.

Benfica, Estoril’s old club, is entitled to fifty percent of any sale, and the club continues to be interested in acquiring a goalie. They are considering Andriy Lunin, a Ukrainian, as well as Hakon Valdimarsson, the Icelandic national team’s number one goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Como, an Italian club known for its lavish spending, has made a contact to Celtic in an effort to recruit Rocco Vata during this transfer window.

Additionally, Cesc Fabregas serves as the head coach of the ambitious Serie B club, which has one of the wealthiest proprietors in all of world football. Despite the fact that Vata’s contract will expire in the summer, the Italian club is interested in negotiating a deal to bring him on board in January.

This would be an agreement that would contain an increased cost as well as add-ons that Celtic would not receive if Vata were to sign a pre-contract and transfer to Celtic in the summer. While Como is awaiting authorization to communicate with Vata, they are prepared to make advantage of Fabregas in order to make a strong sales pitch to them.

The Italian team is now tied for second place in Serie B and is aiming to advance to the top division, where they will place a significant amount of emphasis on their investment. Como is a football club that is owned by the Hartono Brothers, who are multi-billionaires from Indonesia. Additionally, Como benefit from the assistance and knowledge of Thierry Henry, a legendary player for Arsenal and France. Under-21 cap holder from the Republic of Ireland owns a passport from the European Union, and the Italian market is one that the Italians are increasingly looking at for prospective young talent.
