Nicolas Kühn was born on 1 January 2000 (age 26) in Wunstorf, Germany, and developed into a right-sided attacker before arriving at Celtic from Rapid Vienna in January 2024 for around £3m.

His Celtic spell was short but productive. The 2024–25 league campaign was his best to date, with 13 goals in 32 appearances, and he gave the side a direct option from the right without needing the full circus that often follows wide players at Celtic Park.

Kühn left Celtic in July 2025, joining Como for around £17m. That was a sizeable return on a player signed 18 months earlier, and it moved him into Serie A with a clearer first-team role rather than a vague promise of development.

At Como, he wears the number 10 shirt and remains a regular presence in 2025–26, with 23 league appearances and one goal. His market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt.

Kühn’s career has moved quickly: Rapid Vienna to Celtic, a strong scoring season in Glasgow, then a transfer to Como where he is still involved week to week. For a former Celtic player, the interest now is less in potential and more in whether he turns regular football into consistent end product.

Kühn’s career has moved through Jong Ajax, Bayern München II, a loan at Erzgebirge Aue, Rapid Vienna, Celtic and Como. The clear spike came at Celtic, where his 13-goal 2024-25 season followed a shorter two-goal spell in 2023-24 and turned him from a promising wide player into a high-value export.

The transfer record shows steady upward movement. Celtic paid Rapid Vienna €3m in January 2024 and sold Kühn to Como for €17m in July 2025, a major profit after 18 months. Earlier moves – an undisclosed switch from Jong Ajax to Bayern München II, a loan to Erzgebirge Aue and a €450k move to Rapid – underline how sharply his market level rose at Celtic.
