Nicolas Kuhn Frozen Out at Como: Future Uncertain

Nicolas Kuhn faces an uncertain future at Como, just one year after his significant £17.5 million move from Celtic. Manager Cesc Fabregas excluded the 26-year-old winger from the Serie A opening match squad against Udinese, alongside several other players.

This decision has caused a stir, particularly for the former Celtic star, who is now considered surplus to requirements and likely headed for the transfer list. Kuhn's debut season at Como was challenging, with only one goal and assist in 23 appearances, though he started just six matches.

Italian sources suggest Kuhn may have been unlucky, with a minor muscle problem limiting his game time. During his time at Celtic, the German international was a revelation, scoring 24 goals and providing 18 assists in 69 games, including strong Champions League performances.

His form attracted interest from various clubs, including Como. With several weeks remaining in the transfer window, Kuhn should have no problem finding a new club, potentially on loan, which could interest clubs like Martin O'Neill's side.
