Celtic 'eye' £3m-rated winger who replaced Nicolas Kuhn at Rapid Vienna

Celtic are reportedly eyeing a move for Rapid Vienna winger Isak Jansson. 

The Swede scored nine goals and registered six assists across 33 appearances for the Austrian Bundesliga outfit last season. 

Jansson could replace Nicolas Kuhn at Celtic, who is set to join Serie A side Como. Coincidentally, Jansson also replaced Kuhn when he left Rapid for Parkhead at the beginning of 2024.

He is comfortable on the left wing as well as the right, though, and actually played 20 of his 33 games for his club last season on the left-hand side.

The Scottish Premiership champions are eyeing a move for the 23-year-old, claims SunSport, who say he is rated at £3 million. 

Several other clubs across Europe, including Lazio, Fiorentina, and recently promoted Ligue 1 outfit Paris FC, have all been linked with moves for the wide man. 

Speaking on transfer interest recently, Jansson said [SunSport]: "I know there are many teams at our games. I also know the teams that are interested in me and have contacted my agent.

"But I feel comfortable in Rapid as I am developing every day."

Celtic have already signed five players this summer. Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan both returned to the club on free transfers, as Benjamin Nygren swapped Denmark for Scotland. 

Teenage striker Callum Osmand then joined from Fulham, as Hayato Inamura, very much a project for the future, made the £250,000 switch from J-League side Albirex Niigata.
