    Celtic have opened negotiations over the transfer of Greece international Georgios Giakoumakis, the Dutch Eredivisie's leading goalscorer last season.

    Manager Ange Postecoglou is understood to have played a central role in the pursuit of the 26-year-old, calling the striker personally to detail his plans for him.

    A transfer fee in the region of £2.5million is expected to be sufficient to secure Giakoumakis from VVV-Venlo, who were relegated from the Netherlands' top tier last season despite the forward scoring 26 times in 30 league appearances.


    Record.

    26 in 30 is not a bad return in fairness. For 2.5 million aye why not.

    A transfer fee in the region of £2.5million is expected to be sufficient to secure Giakoumakis from VVV-Venlo, who were relegated from the Netherlands' top tier last season despite the forward scoring 26 times in 30 league appearances.

    That return was seven better than PSV's Donyell Malen, who was subsequently sold to Borussia Dortmund for €30m (£26m).

    VVV director of football Stan Valckx admitted: “We still assume Jako (Giakoumakis) will be sold soon for the amount we have in mind.

    “It has gotten noisier in the last few weeks, we are getting more and more calls.”

    The Greek's contract with the border club runs until the end of this season.

    This and given his low value why arent all the big dutch teams after him. Also looking at his record as whole gives me the fear a bit. Seems a player who has had a purple patch, albeit a very good one.

    Daily record in some ground breaking revelations that a manager wants a player, actually talks to said player.


    I guess it is only really news worthy when we all know far too often our managers tend not to be the ones to chase the players initially.

    26 years old, 27 in December.
    Quick look at his stats, I'd be concerned actually.
    Last season looks good - 26 in 30 can not be ignored. But it looks like he has only scored about 29 across the other 6 seasons he has been a pro. That is worrying!

    For £2.5 million we could do a lot worse, even if it's a purple patch 26 goals is nothing to be scoffed at.

    Some outrageous finishes last year and a big threat in the air. Would be surprised if we got him for 2.5 though

    26 in 30 is * good, more importantly if Ange wants the guy he'll be able to get the best out of him you would imagine.
