The readers have never seen Souta without his mask. So a lot of fans have thought that he must be a character we already know. The Clowns have a lot of information about CCG operations before they happen. This makes people think the Clowns have a member in the CCG (There is much debate on whether this Clown is human or a ghoul.).

In TG Touka saw a character who she mistook for Kaneki from behind. The way the panels were drawn made a lot of fans think he was important, even though it was the first time we saw him. At that time a lot of people speculated that he was Souta.

Then in :re, Furuta appears, he looks pretty much identical to the guy that Touka saw. He works for the CCG. He looks just like a suspicious guy that people already think might be Souta. So that's where the Furuta=Souta theory comes from. :)
