Nicolas Kuhn has scored three goals and provided seven assists for Rapid Vienna this term
Celtic have signed German winger Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna on a five-and-a-half-year deal.
Kuhn, who joined the Austrian club in July 2022 from Bayern Munich for £430,000, is the Scottish Premiership leaders' first January signing.
The 24-year-old has played 22 times for Rapid Vienna this season, scoring three goals and providing seven assists.
"Celtic is one of the biggest clubs around and I'm really happy to be here," Kuhn said.
"At Celtic, it's about doing all we can to win every game, so that is the challenge here. I can't wait to get going and do my very best for our supporters."
Kuhn played at every youth level for Germany and in the academy teams of RB Leipzig and Ajax before joining Bayern.
But he failed to make a first-team appearance for the Bundesliga giants before making the move to Rapid Vienna, where he scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in 51 games.
Manager Brendan Rodgers says Kuhn "has the profile" Celtic are looking for.
"We believe he is a dynamic player who has an excellent level of quality and all the attributes to fit well into our style of play," Rodgers adds.
"He has a real attacking intent, a player with great pace and ideas, the ability to create and score goals and a player with a great energy and work ethic."
