Giorgos Giakoumakis has attacked the mindset of teams in Scottish football for defending their box as the Greek striker discussed his move from the Scottish Champions to MLS side Atlanta United. The 28-year-old said that “the competition is not so good” as he addressed adapting his style.
In media conferences in the past, Giakoumakis was very black or white and would call a spade a spade. The Greek Internationalist says that there will be more opportunities for him, likely more similar to his time in Dutch football.

The deal, worth £4.3m, sees the Greek striker depart the club after a season and a half with 26 goals to his name. After joining for £2m in the summer of 2021, Giakoumakis has impressed. Last season he was the SPFL’s top goalscorer with the season before that, the striker earning the same accolade in the Netherlands. In 57 appearances since moving from VVV-Venlo, Giakoumakis has scored 26 goals and assisted twice. His numbers are impressive and they have been slightly skewed due to his substitute appearances coming late in the game. The player was a major factor in securing the league title last year and he leaves with the best wishes of everyone.
