After his goals against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, Nicolas Kuhn is now the name on everyone’s lips, not just Celtic supporters.
In Celtic’s victory over Leipzig, the German winger was excellent, and his two goals helped put the Bundesliga team to the test.
Celtic is now on track to qualify for the playoffs and sits in 15th place in the Champions League standings.
Given that the Bhoys and Man City are tied for first place, how does Kuhn’s performance compare to that of Erling Haaland and company?
Liverpool’s Mo Salah is being outscored by Celtic legend Nicolas Kuhn.
According to football statistics website Transfermarkt, Nicolas Kuhn is ranked fifth among clubs in all European club tournaments in terms of goal contributions (goals and assists combined).
With 25 out of 14 games, Harry Kane is in first place, followed by Omar Marmoush of Eintracht Frankfurt with 21. With scores of 20 and 19, respectively, Barcelona’s Raphinia and Robert Lewandowski come in third and fourth.
Next up is Kuhn, who has made 19 of 16 appearances, one more than Mo Salah (6th), three more than Vinicious Jr. of Real Madrid (7th), and four more than Jonathan David of Lille (8th).
Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal is in 10th place after 14 of 15 games, while Man City’s Erlin Haaland is in 9th place with five less contributions.
The hottest property in Celtic is Nicolas Kuhn.
Following a challenging beginning to his Celtic career, Kuhn is emerging as one of Brendan Rodgers’ most crucial players.
As the 24-year-old German winger continues to improve, his speed and muscle have overwhelmed opposing opponents.
As the Bhoys try to tighten the screws on the Scottish Premiership title battle, Kuhn will be essential to ensuring that the Hoops go into the next international break on a high note and maintain pressure on the chasing group of Aberdeen and Rangers. Kilmarnock is up next for Celtic.
