It was understood at the time that a number of other Bundesliga clubs were also monitoring the Celtic winger.
And now it's being reported that a Premier League side considers the 25-year-old an option for their right flank.
We told you back in February that the English giants were in attendance for the first leg of Celts' Champions League play-off clash with Bayern Munich on a scouting mission.
And a new report says that it was indeed Kuhn that they were there to watch, and that they've kept him on their shortlist all this time.
The Newcastle Chronicle says Champions League outfit Newcastle are still tracking Kuhn.
It's reported that Eddie Howe's side 'took a long hard look' at the forward in the winter.
That included the Bayern match, as well as Scottish Premiership games.
Kuhn thought he had bagged after just 25 seconds against the Bavarians, only for the offside flag to go up.
He also struck in the second leg at the Allianz Arena, only for the Hoops to crash out at the hands of a last-minute Alphonso Davies goal.
The Magpies are understood to have been put off of a chase for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga after being quoted too big a price for the Swede.

So Kuhn is believed to have cropped up as an 'option' for the St James' Park men.
A potential fee of £15million for a man who notched 21 goals and 15 assists last season seen as good value for money.
