Ex-Celtic star Kyogo looks set to make a shock move to Birmingham City, according to a report.
The 30-year-old left Celtic Park just six months ago.
He joined Rennes in Ligue 1 for around £10m, which essentially saw Jota move in the opposite direction to Glasgow.
However, the Japanese forward's move quickly tuned sour, which saw him fall down the pecking order in France.
Now, Japanese news outlet Sponichi Annex claim that Kyogo is likely to make the move to England's second tier to play for Birmingham.
Here, he would reunite with former Celtic teammate Tomoki Iwata, and work under head coach Chris Davies.

It's said that the ex-Hoops man is keen to explore a move to England.
Big-spending Birmingham won League One at a canter last season.
While much harder this time around, they will be aiming to achieve back-to-back promotions by reaching the Premier League in 12 months' time.
With the 2026 World Cup also approaching in the next year, Kyogo needs to get himself back playing if he wants to be included in Japan's squad.
