Nicolas Kuhn's future is in Celtic's hands, as the winger's agent projects he'll one day go for £25m.
The 24-year-old has been the story of the season in the Scottish Premiership so far this season.
He has 21 goal contributions already after only a few months. The German was sensational as Brendan Rodgers' side toppled RB Leipzig in the Champions League earlier this month.
His standout performances have understandably led to growing speculation that he could be the subject of strong transfer interest from the Premier League, despite only arriving from Rapid Wien last January.
Kuhn's agent, former Rangers player Christian Nerlinger, insists he and his client are in no hurry to leave Celtic amid interest from Fulham and Brentford.
Speaking to the Daily Record, he said: "The speculation is not an issue for us. We have found a home for Nicolas at Celtic.
"We are not, never, walking out on Celtic without being together with the club because this success story was created by Celtic.
"I know from my time at Rangers it was very hard to get something out of the television rights, so, of course, they need to find these success stories - identify a player, buy him for £3million and sell him for £20-£25million - but we will do everything together with the club.
"We are very grateful for how Brendan Rodgers developed the player.

"Nicolas feels the power of this club. I was in the stadium against RB Leipzig and you see the quality of the team. I know that Nicolas has total confidence in Brendan Rodgers in developing him and making him a better player, and for me as a business partner I have total trust in Michael (Nicholson, Celtic CEO) so we will take this step by step.
"Perhaps at some point there will be movement, but we will not pressurise things. It's a massive season and we are really relaxed.
"We are just happy that Nicolas is at the right point, at the right time with the right manager who develops him. We are really grateful for that.
"It's a good team. He is enjoying the philosophy of the manager and is enjoying Glasgow.
"We are enjoying the kind of things that are happening with Celtic and for me he is just at the right point with the right people He feels totally comfortable.
"We are more than happy with him at Celtic but we will always work and cooperate with Celtic about what is the next step. It's a very exciting time."
