TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Leeds United are interested in signing three Celtic players in the summer transfer window.
The Whites are back in the Premier League after a brilliant season under Daniel Farke. They are currently on top of the Championship table, and a win against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday will make them the champions.
Irrespective of what happens at Home Park, Leeds will be very active in the summer transfer window, and they are looking at plenty of names already.
TBR Football exclusively revealed this week that Leeds have watched Daizen Maeda of Celtic. Now, we can confirm that two other Hoops stars are also of interest.
Leeds United are interested in Celtic stars Nicolas Kuhn and Cameron Carter-Vickers
TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, understands that Leeds United are showing interest in Celtic duo Nicolas Kuhn and Cameron Carter-Vickers.
The Whites are being connected with the Old Firm, given that their owners are investing in Rangers, but they are also taking a firm interest in Celtic.
The interest in Maeda has been revealed, but the Championship leaders are keen to sign two other players from Celtic Park as well.
TBR Football understands that Leeds United have watched the Scottish champions on a number of occasions since the turn of the year.
We can reveal that they have taken an interest in Kuhn and Carter-Vickers, both of whom have been linked with summer moves to the Premier League.
Both Kuhn and Carter-Vickers are tied down to deals until the summer of 2029, while Japan international Maeda’s contract will expire in July 2027.

Leeds will need more firepower next season if they want to stay in the Premier League.
The three promoted teams have gone down in each of the last two seasons, and the Whites will know that avoiding relegation will not be easy.
Additions in attack will be key, and Maeda and Kuhn’s numbers this season may explain why Leeds are looking at the Celtic duo.
Games | Goals | Assists | Minutes per goal or assist | |
Nicolas Kuhn in 2024/25 | 47 | 20 | 14 | 90.44 |
Daizen Maeda in 2024/25 | 47 | 33 | 11 | 84.34 |
Carter-Vickers hasn’t been too bad either. In his 27 appearances in the Scottish Premiership this season, the former Tottenham man has conceded just 19 goals.
All three players have been key for Celtic this season, and they are entering the prime years of their careers as well.
It remains to be seen, however, if Leeds will be able to lure them away from Celtic Park this summer.
