Gladbach have moved quickly to secure the services of Kühn, who appears to be out of Cesc Fabregas ' plans with the picturesque Italian side. The 26-year-old was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon as the transfer window enters its final period.

Kühn struggled to replicate his sparking Celtic form with Como , scoring once and assisting once in 24 Serie A appearances. Hopefully he can find some form with Borussia.
After signing from Rapid Vienna in January 2024, Kühn scored 24 goals and assisted 18 times in 69 appearances for the club, helping Celtic to win four trophies. It was expected that the player would attract interest from across Europe after his impressive displays in the UEFA Champions League.

Como was a strange move but he was able to benefit from a period of coaching from Brendan Rodgers and John Kennedy, which took his game to another level and allowed Celtic to make a significant profit on the deal.

Recent Celtic signing Mika Baur has talked about how he reached out to Nicolas Kuhn for his advice ahead of the German's move to Paradise. The two players share the same agent and Kuhn spoke very highly of his time at Celtic, in particular the brilliant atmosphere created by the Celtic support on big European nights.
Baur had watched Celtic on TV take RB Leipzig apart under Brendan Rodgers in the Champions League with Nicolas Kuhn scoring a double in a 3-1 victory. That impressed him and so too did the advice that Kuhn gave to help convince Mika that Celtic was a brilliant destination for him too as he looks to progress his career.
