Johan Mjallby shuts down Celtic transfer worry by telling fans it’s ‘not going to happen’

Celtic head into the international break in strong form and serious excitement about what these next few months will bring.

In Brendan Rodgers’ return to the club last summer, Celtic won the double and this was after the team wasn’t really at their best.

So, imagine what the Bhoys can produce or win playing the football they are displaying now because it has been incredible.

From Celtic outclassing RB Leipzig to how they dealt with the second-best team in Scotland during the League Cup semi-final.

It has been a joy to watch, but you sense that the best is yet to come, especially with the League Cup final on the horizon and knockout Champions League football at Parkhead becoming more of a reality.

A big reason behind that is the club’s recruitment because more gems are emerging in the green and white colours.

Johan Mjallby says Nicolas Kuhn won’t leave Celtic

The man who is talk of the town is Nicolas Kuhn, who has had an outstanding week for the club, from his performance against Leipzig to that goal against Kilmarnock.

The Christmas lights aren’t even up yet and Kuhn already has 21 goal involvements to his name.

Given his strong form, there has been transfer talk around his name, but Johan Mjallby has shut all of that down, as he told Premier Sports.

He made it clear that ‘it’s not going to happen’ regarding Kuhn leaving in January and stated that it would take Matt O’Riley-like money to lose him.

“I am pretty sure they will do everything to keep him,” said Mjallby. “He’s on fire. On good form. In a way, he is like a new signing this summer.

“The first six months were stop and start for him. He had this tooth problem as well. He didn’t really show what he was all about. Now he is doing so well and is perfect in the way Brendan Rodgers wants his teams to play.

“It’s not going to happen. I will tell you guys. Maybe if they come in with a ridiculous bid for, we are talking Matt O’Riley figures, then they might be tempted. If it’s going to happen, then it’s going to happen next summer.”

Kuhn is the best player in Scotland

O’Riley hit the headlines over the weekend after scoring Brighton’s winner against Manchester City.

He was Celtic’s best player last season and the best performer in Scotland. You would think his departure would have been felt, but it hasn’t.

Players like Kuhn are reasons behind that and it just goes to show how this trophy-winning train of Celtic works because it is unstoppable.

Is it crazy to think that Kuhn could possibly record close to 50, if not above, goal contributions this season because he is already halfway there with 21, as posted by Transfermarkt.
