Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

K. Furuhashi is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Birmingham, rated 26.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 450th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Furuhashi.

Judged on this season alone, Furuhashi graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 66th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 28 appearances (0.088 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 62nd of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 31 Furuhashi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Furuhashi missed 5 games through injury (inactive, wound) out of roughly 46 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

1 goal in 28 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.09 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.2, Furuhashi carries the 62nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.09 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
