And that form has persuaded Serie A outfit Como to splash the cash on the pacy wideman.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports on X that both clubs - and the player - are agreed on a £16.3m deal to take the player to Italy, with all that remains a medical.
While his former club Rapid Vienna are believed to take a small percentage of the profit on the deal, it still means a tidy mark up for the player.
Romano said: "Como agree deal to sign Celtic forward Nicolas Kühn on permanent move.
"Understand transfer fee will be €19m with medical tests to follow, personal terms also agreed in principle.
"Formal details being clarified and then all signed."

Every eight figure Celtic transfer profit as Nicolas Kuhn gets set to add to £133m bonanza
There are few better at buying low and selling high than Celtic – and here are eight reasons why There's no denying Celtic 's ability to buy low and sell high is a central part of what's made them the dominant force in Scottish football. Nicolas Kuhn looks set to become the latest player signed for a modest fee and sold on for big bucks with Como zeroing in on a £17.2million deal for the German. Signing those uncut gems and refining them before making serious cash has been the platform for success at Parkhead both on and off the pitch and Kuhn, signed for just £3m from Rapid Vienna in 2024, will become the latest to bank them an incredible eight-figure profit. There have been eight others over the years who have come and gone, leaving Celtic £10m (or more) in the green along the way. So as Kuhn gets set for an Italian adventure, Record Sport have taken a look at the others in detail. Disclaimer: We've only included the initial fees paid here, so some of the final figures may be inflated after add-ons and sell-on percentages. OK, let's get into it! Victor Wanyama (Celtic to Southampton, 2013) Virgil van Dijk (Celtic to Southampton, 2015) Moussa Dembele (Celtic to Lyon, 2018) Kieran Tierney (Celtic to Arsenal, 2019)
