Yang Hyun-Jun<\/p>\n<p>According to <a

rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sky Sports<\/a> on 18 December, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/birmingham-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Birmingham City<\/a> are once again looking to sign Yang.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues were keen on signing the Celtic winger in the summer, and he was close to moving to St. Andrew\u2019s for \u00a33million.<\/p>\n<p>However, the deal fell through as Birmingham felt the need to move on to other targets after continuously waiting for Celtic to sanction the deal.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"inline-links multi\">\n<li>Yang was linked with a move to Birmingham in the summer<\/li>\n<li>Since Brendan Rodgers\u2019 departure, Yang has played regularly at Celtic <\/li>\n<li>The winger scored in Celtic\u2019s 3-1 win against Feyenoord last month <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, both Birmingham City and Norwich are now in the race to sign the South Korean international, with Preston also an admirer.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the deal goes through, it could end <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/patrick-roberts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roberts\u2019<\/a> time at the Blues.<\/p>\n<p>Yang plays on the same side are the Sunderland loanee, and surely Chris Davies would rather start someone he has permanently rather than on loan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Roberts\u2019 playing time at St. Andrews could be cut, or the winger could even be sent back to the Black Cats.<\/p>\n<p>One saving grace for Roberts is that <a

impressed in recent weeks at Celtic<\/a>, and if this form were to continue in the Championship, it would give the Sunderland star a good chance of staying in the starting XI.<\/p>\n<p>Birmingham City set for busy January transfer window<\/p>\n<p>With Birmingham aiming to get into the Premier League, it appears that they are willing to spend next month to make this happen.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/exclusive-birmingham-citys-three-man-january-signing-plan-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Birmingham want to bring in a striker, left-back and a midfielder<\/a> in January to help add some extra quality to the side.<\/p>\n<p>If Yang is to also join, it would give the Blues plenty of quality in their depth ahead of the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<p>However, it remains to be seen if this will be enough to win promotion this campaign.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"
