Kuhn is reportedly set to head to Italy with Como agreeing a £16.4m deal
Como have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Nicolas Kuhn from Celtic for £16.4m.
The winger has had plenty of interest this summer despite his explosive form tailing off towards the end of last season.
‌
A total of 21 goals and 15 assists in all competitions was more than enough to garner interest from Germany and Italy with RB Leipzig keen earlier in the window, although recent reports suggested their interest had cooled.
‌
Now it appears to be ambitious Serie A side Como closing in. Fabrizio Romano reports that they have agreed a fee of €19m (£16.4m) with Celtic, with Kuhn now set to fly out to Italy for a medical.
It's claimed an agreement in principle has already been reached over personal terms with just the formalities left to iron out.
It comes just 18 months on from the Hoops paying around £3m to sign him from Bayern Munich – and another example of their buy low, sell high recruitment strategy paying off substantially.
Brendan Rodgers has already brought in Benjamin Nygren this month and the hope may be for the Swede to step up and directly replace Kuhn.
However it's likely to lead to more incomings at Parkhead, where Celtic were already chasing another striker following the arrival of Callum Osmand from Fulham.
