Nicolas Kuhn matches Celtic favourite Jota's superb record

Nicolas Kuhn is enjoying an outstanding season at Celtic

The German winger is leading the way for player of the season so far, with the Hoops marching towards another Scottish Premiership title.

Not only has the 24-year-old performed domestically though, he has made an impact in Europe.

Jota was a firm fans' favourite during his two seasons at Parkhead before his mega-money move to Saudi Arabia.

But how do they compare?

Well, thanks to Transfermarkt, we can look at Kuhn's stats from the current season and Jota's from the 2022/23 campaign.
