Birmingham City 'waiting' on Celtic's decision over £3m Yang transfer

Birmingham City are reportedly waiting on Celtic to green-light a move for Yang Hyun-jun. 

The South Korean winger was an unused substitute in the Parkhead club's goalless draw with Rangers at Ibrox this afternoon. 

Yang signalled his desire to leave Celtic earlier this summer, and as the transfer deadline approaches, he could soon be on the move.

Indeed, according to Sky Sports, Birmingham are waiting on Celtic to sanction the move. 

After discussions, the initial transfer fee the English Championship club will pay has risen to £3million, with add-ons to be ironed out.  

Yang could travel south of the border tonight if Celtic give the green light. 

Although Adam Idah, and now potentially Yang, could be on the way out of Celtic, Brendan Rodgers has consistently maintained his desire for the club to strengthen at the top end of the park. 

"There are lots of names that are out there," he said after today's game.

"So, I think from our perspective, we just need that quality and speed in the team and the creativity. That's key for us."
