Celtic star Nicolas Kuhn has attracted interest from Premier League clubs ahead of the January transfer window, causing a “huge problem” for the club.
This is according to former Man United chief scout and Sir Alex Ferguson number two Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that Celtic could be put in a difficult position.
Scottish sides, including the Glasgow giants Celtic and Rangers, cannot compete financially with English clubs and are at risk of losing their best players.
Matt O’Riley’s £25million move to Brighton in the summer is the latest example of this, given the relative size difference between Celtic and the Seagulls.
However, given their position in the Premier League, they have the financial muscle to draw key players away from Parkhead.
Now, Football Insider has revealed that both Fulham and Brentford are plotting moves to sign Kuhn after his excellent start to the season./
Brown has warned a similar situation could take place once more, and expressed concern for Celtic and Rangers’ ability to keep their top players in the SPFL.
