RB Leipzig are reportedly intensifying their interest in Celtic's Nicolas Kuhn.
The winger's future has been a hot topic of discussion this summer, given his stellar 2024/25 campaign.
Although Kuhn slightly fell off towards the end of last term, his seasonal return of 21 goals and 15 assists in 51 appearances makes for impressive reading.

Leipzig, a club that Kuhn was previously in the academy of, have recently intensified their interest in the 25-year-old, claims German Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze.
It is said that the Bundesliga outfit have a 'clear profile' that they want to operate with next season: wingers with a back four. They are still 'pursuing' Kuhn, who currently has four years left on his Celtic deal.

Simon Donnelly thinks Celtic supporters need to be 'careful what they wish for', with regards to a potential Kuhn exit: "You can't argue about his season and his numbers", he told Clyde 1 Superscoreboard.
"There was a period where he was attracting a lot of interest because he was doing so well in the Champions League, scoring goals, performing well, and then I thought his form dipped a little bit towards the end of the season.
"But when you look from a wide player, I think his goals and assists were very, very good.
"At one point, I think he was pushing Daizen Maeda for Player of the Year. Maeda just kept going, he was consistent right through.
"I don't know how I feel about it. Jota is going to be a little bit away through injury. I'm not sure. It's one of those ones, careful what you wish for.
"Can you get somebody to come in and have that many assists and goals, right from the off? We don't know.
"Kuhn had a slow start the season before, so we'll wait and see. They will be doing a lot of work in the background.
"Wide players are the ones that have been linked, so they are obviously looking in that area again. Whether they know Kuhn's away, time will tell."
