LA Galaxy Sign Japanese Striker Kyōgo Furuhashi from Birmingham City
The LA Galaxy have signed Japanese striker Kyōgo Furuhashi from Birmingham City, according to multiple sources briefed on the deal. Furuhashi, who led the Scottish Premiership in goals during the 2022-23 season with 27 goals for Celtic, struggled in the English Championship after moving to Birmingham last summer for around €9 million, managing just one goal in 28 appearances. The 5-foot-7 striker, who has 23 caps for Japan but was not on the 2026 World Cup squad, will join the Galaxy immediately and will not require a designated player spot. The Galaxy, currently ninth in the Western Conference, recently sold winger Gabriel Pec to Cruzeiro for a club-record fee. Furuhashi previously scored 42 goals for Vissel Kobe in Japan's J1 League before moving to Celtic in 2021-22.
