Giorgos Giakoumakis has potential suitors lining up according to reports with Celtic looking to recruit in the striker's position.
The Greek forward proved vital in his last potential game for the Hoops, netting an injury time goal to seal a spot in the Viaplay Cup final next month with Rangers. Giakoumakis was cryptic on his social media following the Kilmarnock triumph, saying he was going to 'enjoy every moment' until it was his 'last'. Now the 28-year-old looks set to leave Glasgow but with competition heating up.
Shock J-League outfit Uwara Red Diamonds looked close to an agreement with Giakoumakis according to reports, while MLS outfit Atalanta United also interested but potentially being priced out of a deal worth around £4m.

According to the Scottish Daily Express, however, Ange Postecoglou's men are still chasing Korean forward Oh Hyeon-ghu after links with World Cup attacker Cho Gue-sung fell flat. The Suwon Samsung Bluewings did previously claim he had received an 'offer' to play in Europe and was keen to follow that dream.
Speaking at a fan signing event last year, he said: "What was reported is true. It is not common to receive an offer from Europe like this, and Celtic, a prestigious club, gave me a good offer. I think I have a big desire to take on this opportunity.”
The report also states no contact has been made between Celtic and Hibernian over the potential services of in-form forward Kevin Nisbet, with the Scotland cap previously being a target of Rangers under Steven Gerrard.
