O’Neill Says Kyogo Return Unlikely After Celtic Make Loan Enquiry

The interim manager points to the striker’s preference to prove himself at Birmingham.

Overview

  • Celtic asked Birmingham about a loan for Kyogo Furuhashi, but Martin O’Neill said a deal now looks unlikely.
  • Blues manager Chris Davies said there have been no exit talks and he expects Kyogo to stay and fight for his place.
  • Kyogo has struggled since leaving Parkhead, with 23 Championship appearances without a league goal and one strike in the League Cup.
  • Reports highlight obstacles to any loan, including a contract running to 2028 and a wage share around £40,000 per week.
  • Celtic are prioritizing a striker in January, with public pressure building as pundits urge swift decisions and the club trails the league leaders.
