Birmingham City are moving closer to the signing of Kanya Fujimoto ahead of their return to the Championship, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n
Reports in Portugal, via Sport TV, claim Fujimoto is \u2018getting closer and closer\u2019 to joining Blues from Primeira Liga side Gil Vicente on a free transfer.<\/a><\/p>\n And there has been another update in the last 24 hours with journalist Sebastiao Sousa-Pinto telling his YouTube channel that Blues<\/a> are inching towards a deal that will give boss Chris Davies<\/a> more attacking options.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m talking about Kanya Fujimoto, the midfielder whose contract with Gil Vicente ended and who is now a free agent and, as far as I can tell, 90%, 95% has been agreed with Birmingham City<\/a>,” he said.<\/p>\n “The clock is still ticking to seal the deal. We\u2019ll have to keep waiting, but the feeling has been very positive for a few weeks now.<\/p>\n “The feeling is still very positive for the transfer to be completed, but we\u2019re still taking it one step at a time until we can close this deal, and Kanya Fujimoto can then join the Championship team as a free agent, once again after his contract with Gil Vicente ended.”<\/p>\n Fujimoto made 10 goal contributions in 30 games in the Portuguese top flight last season to help Gil Vicente finish 13th in the table.<\/p>\n Primarily used as a number 10, Fujimoto has spent the last five years with Gil Vicente, first on loan for two years before joining permanently from Tokyo Verdy in 2022.<\/p>\n His contract expires at the end of June and sources in Portugal expect him to depart Gil Vicente \u2013 and St Andrew\u2019s could be his next stop.<\/p>\n Blues already have one left-footed number 10 in their squad in the form of Iceland international Willum Willumsson, but lost Kieran Dowell at the end of last season after his successful loan from Rangers.<\/p>\n
