Nicolas Kuhn has been Celtic's best player this season so far. The improvement that the German winger has shown is remarkable. He was brought in in January from Rapid Vienna and had an average second half of the 23/24 campaign. As a result, his place in the starting XI was uncertain even a few months back.

But right now, Kuhn has to be the first name on the team sheet every week. He is playing at a remarkable level and many believe that he has proven himself to be better than Jota already.

The German winger's output has been extraordinary. According to stats from Transfermarkt, Kuhn has scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists in 17 appearances so far this season.

Unsurprisingly, he is being linked with a move to the Premier League already. As reported by Kronen Zeitung (via Daily Record), a €30 million figure has been "discussed" as a potential fee for Kuhn to leave Celtic, as they look to surpass the Matt O'Riley to Brighton & Hove Albion transfer.

Of course, Celtic fans would want to see Kuhn remain at Parkhead for years to come. And if they can keep on succeeding at the Champions League level, keeping the winger might become easier.

The reality of life as a Celtic fan is that you often have to see the club's best player leave. Just this summer, O'Riley made the move to Brighton & Hove Albion. If Kuhn keeps on performing like this, his exit might also end up being inevitable.

That being said, the grass is not always green on the other side. Kuhn should just look at how things turned out for Jota when he left Celtic to join Al-Ittihad. So, even if he wants to leave, he should make sure that it is for the right club.
