Kyogo Furuhashi has been linked with a move away from Birmingham City just weeks after a return to Celtic was suggested. The Japanese striker has failed to find his best form with Chris Davies\u2019 Championship outfit, prompting suggestions he could make way this window. <\/p>\n

Football Insider<\/a> reports that Swansea are interested in bringing the 31-year-old attacker into their squad this winter. <\/p>\n

The deal is estimated to be unlikely to go through as wages are a stumbling block. Although, a move would see a reunion with ex-Celtic attacker Adam Idah. <\/p>\n

Idah joined The Swans in the summer after Brendan Rodgers said that he wouldn\u2019t be sold unless a replacement was in the building. <\/p>\n

Kyogo was linked with a move back this month but the trail went cold with the player keen to remain in Birmingham.<\/p>\n

Since leaving Celtic, Kyogo has been to Rennes and Birmingham but struggled to make an impact like he did at Celtic Park. <\/p>\n

After Brendan\u2019s first season, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Pep Guardiola\u2019s Man City were considering the Japanese striker with a fee of \u00a315m suggested for the player. No move came to fruition but a number of links followed, suggesting that the player was keen on an exit.<\/p>\n

This move was forthcoming last January as Kyogo left after Celtic secured passage to the UEFA Champions League knockouts with a tense 1-0 win over Young Boys. Kyogo was unlucky not to find his name on the scoresheet that night but was at his menacing best. Celtic, meanwhile, did not buy a replacement for him leaving Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda to lead the line. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyogo Furuhashi has been linked with a move away from Birmingham City just weeks after a return to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436855,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-436854","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436854\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
