Celtic have confirmed that winger Nicolas Kuhn has joined Italian side Como.

Sky Sports News understands Como will pay an initial £16.5m fee for the German winger.

Kuhn has signed a four-year deal at the Serie A side, who are managed by ex-Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

The 25-year-old joined the Hoops from Rapid Vienna in January 2024 on a five-and-a-half-year deal for £3m.

Last season Kuhn scored 21 goals in 51 appearances for the Hoops, helping them to the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Premiership title.

The Parkhead club confirmed his departure on their official X account and said: “Everyone at #CelticFC thanks Nicolas for his contribution to the club and we wish him every success in the future.

“Thank you and good luck, Nicolas.”
