Cesc Fabregas expects 'creativity and intensity' from €20m Como winger after completing transfer from Celtic

Como released an official statement confirming the signing of the 25-year-old winger from Celtic. Fabregas was delighted with the signing as the winger brings creativity and intensity - just what the Spaniard was looking for to bolster his squad for the upcoming season. Kuhn expressed that he is excited to be at Como and can't wait to hit the ground.

Kuhn was scouted by Como after his exceptional performance in Scotland where he scored 21 goals and provided 15 assists in 51 games, helping the club clinch all the domestic accolades. The German winger has been reportedly signed for €20 million, which is an exceptional deal for the Scottish club, who signed him for €4m last year.

Speaking to the club's official media, Como's head coach said: "Nico is sharp, technical, and understands space really well. He brings creativity and intensity—qualities that fit exactly how we want to play. He’ll give us something different in Serie A."

Kuhn, who is excited to move to Italy, said: "I’m really excited to be here. I had a long chat with the coach and I can’t wait to get out on the pitch, familiarise myself with the stadium and play in front of our fans. The decision was easy: the project is ambitious, and I want to be part of it, doing my best to help the team grow and achieve increasingly important goals. The city is beautiful — a real film set! I’m happy to start this new adventure in such a beautiful place."

Como's transfer activity has been exceptional in this summer window. The Italian club were able to retain their most prized asset, Nico Paz, who is said to snub a move to Real Madrid should the opportunity arise. The signing of Jesus Rodriguez and Jayden Addai from Real Betis and AZ further showcases the club's seriousness to compete on a higher level.

The Italian club are set to face Lille in a pre-season friendly on 18 July.
