    I think undoubtedly he has, 11 goal contributions in 8 games.

    A case study in what our manager can do to a player. Remove the health issue when he joined which clearly was an issue, he’s now applying himself in an entirely different manner with clear direction on what to do within the team structure and as a result he’s blossoming.

    The base of pace, lovely touch and close control now has a direction and we’re reaping the rewards.

    So far this season, 8 games for 493min played, 5 goals & 6 assists...

    Meaning so far this season he has a goal contribution every 44min 48sec.

    Could he be better than Jota on current trajectory?

    Now seeing why he was topping the charts in European leagues for chances created and dribbles. So creative and any full back he's coming up against is terrified of him.

    Him and Jota both different types. If we can get another flair player out wide that we can rely on in January we are laughing. Ideally two.

    Whose to say.

    On his current form, he is certainly giving Jota a run for his money.

    Looks so dangerous & showing why he was highly regarded and a regular for Germany's youth sides. Rodgers has given him the platform and guidance to bring his talents to the forefront. Long may it continue.

    If he carries on like he has been * be gone within 2 years... £30m. We should be looking for his replacement now.

    Not for me.

    He's better than Abada though and peak Abada was class.

    Totally different types of wingers, would be a hard choice to pick between them but ive always preferred wingers who can drive at and skin the opposition.

    Imagine having both? Ooft....stauner material right there.

    You can definitely see why Ajax and Bayern signed this guy.

    He's been different gravy this season.

    Im not sure. Jota struck the ball better, was more skillfull and was more of a physical specimen (taller, stronger etc.) but admittedly Kühn has more pace. Both brilliant players regardless.

    I know the season is still young and two goals against Falkirk can easy swing it at this stage.

    But *, that makes some great reading.

    We are talking Rogic-esq levels of career turnaround here with how he looked utterly out of his depth but has now jus totally changed and become such a key part of our 11

    Kuhn isn’t currently better than Jota at his best, and who knows if he ever will be, but he has been incredible this season.

    He has one thing that Jota never did though, and that’s pace. If he can keep this current level of performance up and have a few more good derby and Euro performances then he’ll be in that conversation.

    Player of the season so far for me. Electric pace, direct, and when he gets his decision making right he's a constant source of goals. Keep it up wee man!

    We can all see he's rapid but was surprised at hearing Mulgrew say he's the fastest player at the club. Thought that would've been Maeda..

    Grand old team to play for
    Found it mental how so many were writing him off earlier in the year. He was blowing hot and cold, but did show a fair amount of ability and end product. 3 goals and 3 assists after coming in unfit having had major dental work, and settling in to a new country and style of football.

    So many people expect new players to hit the ground running nowadays. It can take a bit of time.

    Doesn't have maybe the flair that Jota does buy by * he's effective
