Antony Joseph, a reporter working for Sky Sports in the UK, said on his personal SNS around 8 p.m. on the 1st (Korea time) that "Celtic winger Yang Hyun-joon will move to England ahead of his £3 million (about KRW 5.7 billion) transfer to Birmingham City. Celtic have yet to approve the transfer. With more than six hours until the end of the England transfer window, he will travel to Birmingham to prepare for the move as soon as the transfer window is approved.'
Reporter Joseph also said early on the 1st, `Birmingham is waiting for Celtic's approval of winger Yang Hyun-joon. Negotiations over the weekend raised the initial transfer fee to around £3 million, but no additional costs have been set yet. Yang could travel to Birmingham tonight if the transfer is granted" he once said.
If Celtic accept Birmingham's offer, Yang Hyun-joon is expected to become a Birmingham player immediately. Celtic are currently looking for a replacement for Yang Hyun-jun. If he fails to recruit a replacement for Yang, Yang will have to go back to Scotland.

Unfortunately, Baek Seung-ho was relegated to the English League 1 (third division) along with Birmingham, but Birmingham considered Baek Seung-ho as a key resource and did not allow the transfer. With Baek Seung-ho, Birmingham planned to move straight up to the championship. At that time, Birmingham also recruited another Korean national team member, Lee Myung-jae, last season.
Baek Seung-ho, who even renewed his contract after persuading Birmingham, had the best season of his life and succeeded in promoting to the second division by leading Birmingham to the championship. He was also selected as the first Korean team of the year by the English Professional Footballers Association (PFA). Birmingham plans to try to promote to the Premier League (EPL) immediately this season, so it seems that it wants to strengthen its power by recruiting Yang Hyun-joon.

Birmingham seems to want to recruit Yang Hyun-joon after seeing his potential for development. It depends on whether Celtic recruit a player who can replace Yang Hyun-joon in the transfer market.
