Celtic remain very much in the hunt for the signature of Greece international striker Georgios Giakoumakis, despited inaccurate reports from his homeland earlier today that indicated that the VVV-Venlo goalscorer was 99% certain to join Werder Bremen.
That is not the case as the relegated German side struggle financially and are now actively seeking alternative less costly alternatives. Sky Sports man Anthony Joseph – making a welcome return to work after struggling with the after effects of Covid – has provided this update this evening and it is certainly much more positive than how things were appearing to look this morning.
“Werder Bremen are struggling to finance a deal for VVV-Venlo striker Georgios Giakoumakis. They’re already looking at other options,” Joseph stated.”Talks between Celtic and Giakoumakis are said to be progressing well. Venlo want a 15% sell-on clause included in any transfer for the player,” the Sky Sports man reported.
just over a week ago we told you that the “Most Likely” signing at the back end of this window were Josip Juranovic from Legia Warsaw, Georgios Giakoumakis from VVV-Venlo and Liam Scales from Shamrock Rovers. We’re still in the hunt for all three folks!
