Celtic winger Yang a 'transfer target' for EFL giants

A big-spending EFL club are reportedly interested in signing Yang Hyun-jun.

The South Korean international has found himself in the team more often than not so far this season after Nicolas Kuhn was sold this summer, and Jota remains on the sidelines.

The 23-year-old started both legs of the Champions League play-off against Kairat Almaty. He also started the domestic victory over Livingston.

However, as the Hoops get prepared to announce the £4.5m arrival of Michel-Ange Balikwisha, and as they enter talks with Tunisia winger Sebastian Tounekti, it seems Yang could possibly be headed for the exit door.

Football League World report that Birmingham City are interested in a move.

It's claimed they want more options in the wider areas, and head coach Chris Davies views Yang as a player who fits the bill.

A move to the Blues would see Yang team up with former Celtic teammates Kyogo and Tomoki Iwata, as they aim to seal promotion to the Premier League this term.

Yang joined Celtic for £2m from Gangwon in 2023.
