Forgotten player now looks set to be Celtic's next superstar

Celtic said goodbye to one of their superstars this summer as Matt O'Riley joined Brighton & Hove Albion in a Scottish-record £30 million transfer deal. On the other hand, there has been plenty of speculation around the future of Kyogo Furuhashi as well, who is believed to have caught the eye of Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side could potentially come calling in January, as they search for Julian Alvarez's replacement.

it remains to be seen how Kyogo's situation transpires over the coming months. At the same time, we might be seeing the rise of Celtic's next superstar.

Nicolas Kuhn was signed by the club last winter from Rapid Vienna. He made an unremarkable start to life at Celtic as well, as many fans wondered whether the Hoops had made another failed 'project signing'.

If Kuhn's recent performances are anything to go by, they might have signed their next superstar. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 5 goals and provided 6 assists in 8 appearances so far this season.

Kuhn's latest performance came in the Scottish League Cup against Falkirk. He was brought on as a substitute in the second half, with Celtic a goal down against the underdogs.

Kuhn ended up making the difference though. He set up Adam Idah for his brace before scoring a couple of superb goals himself. For the first, he chipped the Falkirk goalkeeper. The next one was a strike from distance.

Kuhn is definitely playing like a superstar at the moment and has made one of the wing spots his own. Now, it remains to be seen if he can continue delivering the goods like this and establish himself as one of Celtic's most important players. Let's see what the future holds for the German winger.
