Overview
- Celtic interim manager Martin O’Neill said a January move for Kyogo Furuhashi is unlikely after the club made an enquiry to Birmingham City.
- Birmingham boss Chris Davies said there have been no discussions about an exit and he expects Kyogo to stay and fight for his place.
- Kyogo ended his drought with a goal in an FA Cup win and told fans he will keep trying to help Birmingham, having yet to score in 23 league appearances this season.
- Reports note Celtic would need to cover part of the forward’s reported £40,000-per-week wages, with Kyogo under contract at Birmingham until 2028.
- Celtic continue to seek striking reinforcements, with links to Callum Wilson persisting as other reported options are assessed.
