'Gone horribly wrong' - Why ex-Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi has been a £10m flop for Tom Brady and Birmingham

Kyogo Furuhashi's Struggles at Birmingham

Kyogo Furuhashi looked to be a shrewd signing for Birmingham when moving to St Andrew’s in 2025, but the former Celtic star has become a £10 million ($14m) flop for the Blues.

Furuhashi's Celtic Career

A healthy return of 85 efforts through 165 appearances was recorded across three-and-a-half productive years in Glasgow, with a personal best return of 34 goals being posted in Celtic’s 2022-23 Treble-winning campaign.

• Kyogo Furuhashi scored 34 goals in Celtic's 2022-23 Treble-winning campaign.
• The Japan international has scored only 3 goals for Birmingham.
• Furuhashi's transfer to Birmingham cost £10 million ($14m).

Don Goodman has explained to GOAL why the Japan international’s struggles have come as a surprise, with a big-money return to British football going “horribly wrong” for the three-goal forward.
