Fulham and Brentford get emphatic January transfer window answer from Celtic superstar's agent
The January transfer window is creeping ever closer as club’s in Scotland get set for the opportunity to add some strength and extra quality to their squads for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign.
Celtic will be hoping to bring in maybe one or two new faces as they look to hold of the title challenge of Aberdeen and keep Rangers at a comfortable distance. However, as is always the case, they will also need to be on alert to try and keep a hold of their current stars amid interest from Europe’s top five leagues.

However, a move for the German looks like being a difficult one for either of the London clubs to get over the line after an emphatic statement of intent from the player’s agent. Kuhn is represented by former Rangers player Christian Nerlinger who recently told the Daily Record how happy his client is at Celtic ahead of the January transfer window.
He said: "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.

He continued: "Nicolas feels the power of this club. I was in the stadium against RB Leipzig and you see the quality of the team. I know that Nicolas has total confidence in Brendan Rodgers in developing him and making him a better player, and for me as a business partner I have total trust in Michael (Nicholson, Celtic CEO) so we will take this step by step.
"Perhaps at some point there will be movement, but we will not pressurise things. It's a massive season and we are really relaxed. We are just happy that Nicolas is at the right point, at the right time with the right manager who develops him. We are really grateful for that.
"It's a good team. He is enjoying the philosophy of the manager and is enjoying Glasgow. We are enjoying the kind of things that are happening with Celtic and for me he is just at the right point with the right people He feels totally comfortable. We are more than happy with him at Celtic but we will always work and cooperate with Celtic about what is the next step. It's a very exciting time."
