Nicolas Kuhn has had an excellent season for Celtic.
The winger started the campaign on red-hot form and seemed to add to his stats every single weekend with Champions League games also dominated by Kuhn.
He had Kyogo at the time to provide assists for while Adam Idah also offered an alternative option for the Celtic playmaker to aim for.
Nicolas Kuhn praised Celtic teammate Daizen Maeda
Now it’s Daizen Maeda who is chasing Celtic records and proving he is a “top class” Hoops star and Kuhn has been chuffed to see his teammate move seamlessly into a striker role having played more often on the left side.
“Game by game it’s getting better,” Kuhn told Celtic TV when asked about their relationship on the pitch.
“The connection is starting to grow. The last game all three of us (with Jota) had an impact so hopefully we can keep going like this until the end of the season.
“I think in his new role as a striker Daizen’s doing a fantastic job. He’s always there and it’s great to play with him.”
Kuhn has 18 goals this season so far with 14 assists and that is despite a bit of a dip in form for the German international hopeful.
Kuhn has been accused of “over-trying” at times but he is switched on enough to know that form is temporary and class is permanent.

That’s why the 25-year-old has never really been too worried about his own game as he knows it will only be a matter of time until he is back at his best. As he was vs Hearts last weekend.
And he has set himself a personal target for the remainder of the season.
“I’ll be happy if I score 20 and just now going for the Treble.
“Scoring is the most important thing. People will look at the stats. For me it doesn’t matter though if I assist or score myself – both are really nice.”
