Birmingham City FC have snapped up midfielder Suzu Amano on a permanent deal - and the 22-year-old's CV reads like a football gap year gone spectacularly right.
Amano arrives from Swedish OBOS Damallsvenskan side Växjö DFF, with the transfer fee kept firmly under wraps. Because nothing says "mystery" quite like an undisclosed fee.
The Japanese midfielder launched her career at INAC Kobe Leonessa before heading to Scandinavia in 2024, joining Hammarby IF. A loan spell at Växjö DFF followed in 2025, which clearly went well enough for the club to make things permanent ahead of the 2026 campaign.
Now she's swapping Sweden for England. Quite the journey.
Amano has pulled on the Japan shirt at multiple youth levels, including the Under-23 set-up - handy experience for someone still just 22.
Head coach Amy Merricks was all smiles after confirming the deal, praising Amano's potential and her exposure to top-level leagues and international competition, as reported by WSL Full-Time.
If her adaptability across two countries is anything to go by, the Blues might have themselves a bargain.
