There were reports that Celtic's Yang Hyun-joon could leave for England.
The British Football League World exclusively reported on the 27th (Korea time) "Celtic winger Yang Hyun-joon has emerged as a target for Birmingham City's last-minute transfer market, where he is spending a lot of money"
Birmingham City manager Chris Davies is trying to strengthen his offensive.
The media reported that "Davis told the recruitment team that he wanted two wingers before the transfer window closed, and the club brought in Luis Kumas from Liverpool on loan last week"However, Davis is still looking for additional power as he seeks consecutive promotions. He is looking forward to the favour based on his long-standing relationship with Swansea, Liverpool, Leicester and Celtic as head coach of Brendan Rodgers," he said.
Winger Yang Hyun-joon, who is 23 this year, joined Celtic from Gangwon FC two years ago, but had difficulty in securing a clear starting position under Rodgers. Even after the opening of the 2025-2026 season, there are limited opportunities to play.
Manager Rogers may feel burdened by Yang Hyun-joon's transfer due to injuries to several attackers.
According to the media, Yang Hyun-jun, the Korean national team, scored five goals in 23 matches in the Scottish Premiership last season"It is clearly on Birmingham's radar network. "
Birmingham City already has many Asian players. Davis was promoted to League One (third division) with a record 111 points, with Asian players at the center.
Birmingham has South Korean national team Baek Seung-ho, and just before last summer's deadline, Celtic native Tomoki Iwata was brought in.
Davis still has high expectations for Asian players. This summer, he brought in attacking midfielder Fujimoto Kanya from Portugal's Jill Vicent and Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi from Stade Rennes.
If Yang Hyun-joon's recruitment is successful, Birmingham City's bid to promote to the English Premier League (EPL) could gain momentum. Expectations are high on whether Birmingham will be able to write a new history with Asian players at the forefront.
