Celtic have completed the signing of winger Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna, subject to international clearance.
The 24-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-and-a-half-year contract that runs until the summer of 2029, and he joins the club for a fee believed to be in the region of £3m following a successful medical in London.
Kuhn has been handed the No.10 shirt at Celtic and the German becomes Brendan Rodgers's first signing of the January transfer window.
Speaking to Celtic's official website after finalising his move to Parkhead, Kuhn said: "I feel great that I'm finally here and I can't wait. Celtic is one of the biggest clubs around and I'm really happy to be here.
"I am really motivated to do well for this great club and I want to get working immediately as we face our challenges in the league and the cup this year, so I'm really excited for what's coming.
"In the end, 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."

German winger Nicolas Kühn joins #CelticFC on a five-and-a-half year deal - subject to international clearance ✍
Welcome to Paradise, Nicolas! 🍀
Rodgers added: "We are delighted to welcome Nicolas to Celtic. 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.
"He has the profile we are looking for, 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.
"He is someone who can play wide on both sides so he brings with him that versatility for us too, and myself and the coaches here really look forward to working with him."
Born in Hanover, Kuhn began his professional career with Dutch giants Ajax, but he failed to make a single senior appearance for the club before joining Bayern Munich II in 2020.
The versatile attacker played 37 times for the German club's reserve side over a two-year period, before moving to Erzgebirge Aue on loan and then joining Rapid Vienna on a permanent deal in May 2022.
Kuhn established himself as an important first-team player for the Austrian outfit, scoring seven goals and registering 10 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.
The former Germany Under-20 international has now decided to take on a fresh challenge with Celtic, and he could be in contention to make his debut for the reigning Scottish Premiership champions when they play host to fifth-tier side Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup fourth round on Sunday.
