Celtic have just signed their ‘seventh winger’

The Celtic signing of Nicolas Kuhn is “concerning” as he is now the club’s seventh wide signing in the last three transfer windows.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Rangers and Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton hailed Kuhn as a top talent but had questions regarding the Hoops’ transfer policy.

The club confirmed the Rapid Vienna winger’s arrival at Parkhead as their first January signing on Tuesday (16 January) for a reported fee of £3million.

This summer, Brendan Rodgers recruited wingers Luis Palma, Hyun-jun Yang, and Marco Tilio, while last season saw Jota move permanently as well as Sead Haksabanovic and Daizen Maeda.

Kuhn now becomes the club’s seventh winger signing in the last two years, and while Hutton fears that they are too heavy in this area, he expects further recruitment this month.

“Kuhn is an interesting one as he looks like one of those footballers who gets people off their seats,” he told Football Insider.

“He’s got real pace, he likes to take people on, he likes to make things happen.

“But this would be their seventh winger recently, which is a bit concerning and also amazing in a way.

“I know Maeda is away at the moment, but Celtic are very heavily stacked in wide areas.

“It’s obviously a place that Brendan Rodgers thinks needs strengthening.

“I don’t think Celtic will be finished with signings yet this window – there will be money to reinvest in the team.

“Are they going to bring in a new striker? A left-back?”
