SKY CONFIRM: Leeds United Agree £2.4M Deal With Birmingham City for Tomoki Iwata
Sky Sports has confirmed that Leeds United have reached an agreement with Birmingham City for the permanent transfer of Japanese midfielder Tomoki Iwata in a deal worth £2.4 million. The 27-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Birmingham from Celtic, impressed with his composure and versatility in the midfield, prompting interest from several Championship clubs.
Leeds, keen to strengthen their squad ahead of another promotion push, moved swiftly to secure Iwata’s services after talks progressed positively this week. The deal is now understood to be in its final stages, with personal terms agreed and a medical scheduled within the next 48 hours.
Iwata’s ability to play as both a holding midfielder and a central defender adds valuable depth to Daniel Farke’s squad. The move is expected to be officially announced early next week once all formalities are completed.
