Nicolas Kuhn: Celtic winger completes switch to Como on four-year deal

Kuhn described the northern Italian city as “beautiful — a real film set”.

Como’s lakeside Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia is smaller than Dundee United’s Tannadice, while average crowds are lower than Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs.

However, Kuhn is joining one of the richest clubs in Serie A.

In 2019, with the team playing in Serie D, Indonesian billionaire brothers Robert and Michael Hartono paid less than £1m to take over, following the club’s third bankruptcy.

The initial plan was to introduce Indonesian players into the lower leagues for a reality TV series but rapid success resulted in a change of strategy.

Kuhn is the third winger to arrive in a short space of time, with Jesus Rodriguez signed from Real Betis for a reported £20m fee and AZ Alkmaar receiving over £10m for Jayden Addai.

Alex Valle, who had half a season on loan at Celtic, is there after making a permanent switch from Barcelona, while former Nou Camp midfielder Sergi Roberto is among the star names recruited by Fabregas, who ended his illustrious playing days with Como in Serie B before taking his first steps into coaching.
