Nicolas Kuhn is the man nobody can stop talking about at Celtic after his superb start to the season that has catapulted the German winger into the limelight.

With 17 appearances under his belt, the £2.8 million January signing has registered ten goals and 11 assists, becoming one of the first names on the teamsheet under Brendan Rodgers.

After a frustrating time of it in his first few months due to illness brought on by dental surgery, Celtic star Nicolas Kuhn has completely flipped perceptions at Parkhead despite stiff competition for places cross-position.

In the summer window, some believed the Bhoys’ choice not to bring in a winger may be a risk to take. Although their point was a valid one at the time, the emergence of the 24-year-old has quelled many of those concerns for now.

As Kuhn continues to be a talismanic figure at Celtic, club captain Callum McGregor has pointed to why he thinks the former Germany Under-20 international has took off in Glasgow.

Callum McGregor on why Nicolas Kuhn is ‘unplayable’ right now

Per BBC Sport, McGregor cited Kuhn’s pre-season performances for Celtic as a launchpad that has allowed the winger to enter his rich vein of current form.

He stated on his string of impressive performances: “Unbelievable. His form has been incredible, especially for a young wide player.

“Sometimes it can fluctuate a little bit, but since the start of the season, I think probably since that Man City game in pre-season, he’s been unplayable, and his numbers obviously back that up as well.

“So he’s in brilliant form, and when you’ve got someone like that at the top of the pitch, you know he can relieve pressure for you and get big goals.”

Nicolas Kuhn could hit even greater heights at Celtic

While his start has been magnificent to watch, Kuhn could approach landmark territory if he keeps up his current goal contributions to games ratio at Parkhead.

Ultimately, that will be a tough ask. Nevertheless, it is only November, so fans will naturally envisage what his tally could look like once all is said and done next May.

For now, supporters will enjoy the show Kuhn is putting on for Celtic. It may have took him a while to get going, but he is repaying back his fee and then some!
