The report also states that talks between the Dutch side and Celtic are thought to be ‘progressing well’, with Venlo looking to have a 15% sell-on fee included in any deal.

Last season, Giakoumakis finished as top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie, impressively scoring 26 goals in the campaign which his current side was relegated.
Ange Postecoglou looks like he is keen to add to his attacking options, which is an exciting thought for fans after seeing the free-flowing attacking football the former Socceroos coach has got us playing already, at such an early stage.
