Tottenham are reportedly looking to strengthen their attacking options, with a potential move for a player currently making waves in the Scottish Premier League.
After a solid start to the season, there’s a sense that the club could benefit from adding more firepower to their squad.
A familiar name has popped up on their radar, and it comes from a club that has become somewhat of a hotspot for talent in recent years, Celtic.
While Tottenham’s new signing, Dominic Solanke, has shown promise, some of their other forwards, including team captain Heung-Min Son, have struggled to maintain their expected form.
With the January transfer window approaching, Tottenham could be planning a move for a winger who has been in red-hot form this season.

The player in question is 24-year-old Nicolas Kuhn, a winger who joined Celtic from Rapid Wien over the summer.
Since his arrival in Glasgow, Kuhn has been nothing short of sensational, becoming one of the best performers in the Scottish Premier League.
The German forward, who is versatile enough to play across the front three but favours the right-wing, has already netted 14 goals and provided 11 assists across all competitions.
His form has reportedly caught the eye of Spurs, who are now said to be plotting a move for the player.
However, Tottenham are not the only Premier League club interested in Kuhn’s services. According to TEAMtalk, both Brentford and Brighton are also monitoring the winger’s progress, with the latter two teams said to be making ‘serious bids’ for him in the coming weeks.
While Kuhn’s SPL performances have been exceptional, many question whether the standard of the Scottish league can truly reflect a player’s ability to perform in the Premier League.
It’s widely acknowledged that many teams in Scotland are not at the same level as those in England’s top flight.
Kuhn’s past record in Germany and Austria also doesn’t raise many eyebrows, but his performances in Europe’s premier competition this season tell a different story.
With two goals and an assist in the Champions League, Kuhn has shown he can compete on a higher stage.
