What happened: The LA Galaxy agreed to a transfer with Birmingham City to acquire forward Kyōgo Furuhashi. He signs a contract running through the 2030-31 season and will occupy an international roster slot.

Why it matters: The move adds attacking reinforcements following the mid-season sale of Gabriel Pec to Cruzeiro for a club-record fee. The club continues to retool its front line, pairing this addition with the recent free transfer signing of winger Robert Taylor.

What to watch: The addition is pending receipt of his P-1 Visa. The Galaxy next host LAFC.
