Bochum is close to signing Koji Miyoshi (27) from Birmingham City. BILD confirms the reports. Last season, Miyoshi scored six goals and provided six assists in 43 Championship appearances. With one year left on his contract, he is expected to be inexpensive for VfL Bochum. Bochum's sporting director, Marc Lettau, sought a creative central midfielder and chose left-footed Miyoshi, known for his dribbling and acceleration. The versatile five-time national player (2 goals) can play multiple offensive roles and fits well in coach Peter Zeidler's 4-4-2 diamond system.
