Birmingham City now pushing to sign ‘unbelievable athlete’ from Celtic before transfer deadline
Birmingham City supporters are waiting for updates on Jay Stansfield but may actually have another signing lined up before the transfer deadline.
꧅The Blues have spent massively this summer as they attempt to make an instant return to the Championship.
🐼Birmingham have already broken the League One transfer record this summer but could yet do it again.
🙈A staggering £10million bid has been submitted for Fulham striker Jay Stansfield after his success loan spell at Birmingham last season.
ܫFulham have rejected that offer according to and it’s unlikely that Birmingham get that one done on deadline day.
🍌Birmingham are still looking for new signings though and Chris Davies could be on the verge of landing a new midfielder.
Celtic ace wanted at Birmingham City
now report that Birmingham are ‘pushing’ to sign Celtic midfielder Tomoki Iwata before the transfer deadline.
ﷺIt’s thought that Celtic would be open to offers for Iwata as the transfer window ticks down towards its end.
🌸Iwata joined Celtic from Yokohama F. Marinos in January 2023, signing on loan before the move was turned permanent last summer.
☂The 27-year-old – who has four caps for Japan – has now turned out 42 times for Celtic, scoring once in the process.
🧔Birmingham have already invested in midfielders Marc Leonard and Willum Thor Willumsson as well as taking Luke Harris and Taylor Gardner-Hickman on loan.
The Blues may still feel that one more midfielder is needed though with Iwata providing a defensive presence from holding midfield or even at centre back.
Ange Postecoglou connection with Tomoki Iwata and Chris Davies
꧃This deal would see Birmingham boss Chris Davies receive something of a favour from his former mentor and current Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers.
🌟Davies worked as Rodgers’ assistant at Swansea City, Liverpool and Celtic so the pair go back a long way.
Rodgers will seemingly help Davies out by sending Iwata to Birmingham, but there is also a strong connection to Ange Postecoglou too.
🎐Iwata played under Postecoglou in Japan before reuniting at Celtic in 2023 with Postecoglou desperate to work with him again.
👍Postecoglou appointed Davies as his assistant at Tottenham Hotspur last summer but has now lost him to Birmingham.
𓂃If anybody knows the ins and outs of Iwata’s game, it’s Postecoglou, and Davies may well have been given a ringing endorsement ahead of this potential deal.
🔥Praised as an ‘unbelievable athlete’ by Kevin Muscat whilst speaking to , Iwata may now try his luck in League One with Celtic happy for him to go.
