She joined FC Nordsjælland in 2018.[2] She made her debut against FC Thy-Thisted Q, and she has since been a regular part of the team's starting line-up.[3] In July 2020, she was named Cup Fighter of the Year when FC Nordsjælland won the 2019–20 Danish Cup. After the match, she was highly praised by several media outlets for her good performance and was also compared to the Danish national team star Pernille Harder.[4][5] The same season she also helped win bronze for the team, in the club's first season in the league.[6]
Arsenal announced the signing of Møller Kühl on 7 January 2023.[7] On 26 January, she made her Arsenal debut, coming off the bench in the 67th minute in the FA Women's League Cup quarterfinal game against Aston Villa.[8]

She made her debut on the same day in the 3–0 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup, coming on as a substitute for Karoline Olesen in the 70th minute.[9] She scored her first goal for the club against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, opening scoring in the 7–1 victory and assisting a goal.[10]

She took part in the 2019 U/17 European Championship in Bulgaria,[12] where the team did not progress from the group stage. Kühl officially played two games at the tournament. She has officially played 19 U-national matches, most recently in March 2020.
In March 2021, she was selected by national coach Lars Søndergaard for the senior national team for a friendly match against Wales, in a 1–1 friendly draw at Cardiff City Stadium.[13] She was an 81st-minute substitute for Emma Snerle.[14] She was in the squad for the subsequent friendlies, where she also started in the starting line-up, in Denmark's 3–2 win over Australia.[15]
