The Greek forward is currently at VVV-Venlo, who were relegated from the Eredivisie last season.

Giakoumakis is also sought after by Werder Bremen who play in the second tier of German football.

However, the Daily Record reported that Giakoumakis has "been impressed by his conversation" with Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou "and the idea of leading a reshaped Celtic's attack."

The 26-year-old scored 29 goals in 33 appearances last season, catching the attention of Greek-Australian Ange Postecoglou.
