Celtic Player On The Same Page With Arch-Rivals?- A TOP Player From Celtic will Join Arch-Rivals’ Players in a Transfer Involving Double Rangers Swoop

Celtic Midfielder Tomoki Iwata Targeted by Birmingham City After Double Rangers Swoop

In a surprising turn of events, English League One side Birmingham City has set its sights on Celtic midfielder Tomoki Iwata. This move comes after the club has already secured two players from arch-rivals Rangers, Ben Davies and Scott Wright.

Iwata, a Japanese international, has struggled to break into the first team at Celtic since his arrival in 2023. With limited game time and opportunities, the 27-year-old may find himself tempted by the prospect of regular football at St Andrews.

Birmingham City, managed by former Celtic assistant manager Chris Davies, has been active in the transfer market this window. The club’s ambition to bounce back to the second tier at the first attempt is evident in their recruitment drive.

The Scottish Sun reports that Davies is keen on signing Iwata, who made 24 appearances for Celtic last season, including 19 in the Scottish Premiership. However, it remains unclear whether Celtic would be willing to consider a loan move or if it would have to be a permanent departure for the former Yokohama F. Marinos player.

Celtic’s recent transfer activity may also influence Iwata’s decision to stay or leave. The club has generated significant funds from the sale of Matt O’Riley and is set to break its transfer record with the £11 million signing of Arne Engels. This influx of new talent may limit Iwata’s game time, making a move to Birmingham City an attractive option.

As the transfer window enters its final stages, Celtic fans will be watching with bated breath to see if Iwata will remain at Parkhead or make the switch to the English League One side. One thing is certain – this transfer saga will be one to keep an eye on in the coming hours.
