LA Galaxy Sign Kyōgo Furuhashi Through 2031
LA Galaxy have agreed to sign Kyōgo Furuhashi from Birmingham City on a contract through the 2030-31 season, with the move pending his P-1 visa according to multiple reports. The 31-year-old Japanese international arrives with a broad European résumé, including a standout 2022-23 season at Celtic where he scored 34 goals in all competitions and won the Golden Boot, along with stints at Vissel Kobe and Stade Rennes. He registered 3 goals in 31 appearances for Birmingham this season, but Galaxy view him as an experienced forward and international roster option. Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz highlighted his international experience with Japan, his time in the UEFA Champions League, and success in top leagues across Europe. The transfer is described as agreed or pending final visa clearance, with expectations that Furuhashi will make an immediate impact in LA. The Galaxy are also navigating roster moves, including selling winger Gabriel Pec to a club, as they prepare for deployment of their new signing.
