Greek striker Georgios Giakoumakis looks like he could be closing in on a move to Parkhead with reports suggesting that a medical has been booked.
Several reports, including one from InsideFutbol, claim that the 26-year old will undergo his medical in Paris on Sunday ahead of the proposed move to Celtic Park.

In the last few weeks, there has been much speculation surrounding Giakoumakis, with the Hoops appearing to be in a two way battle with German side Werder Bremen also looking to secure his services.
With the VVV-Venlo frontman finishing top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie last season, despite his side getting relegated, you would imagine a few eyes would have been watching the striker.
However, now he is edging ever closer to a move to Glasgow, with Ange Postecoglou looking to further add to his attacking options.
Giakoumakis could also be a crucial late addition for the Hoops, with current striker Odsonne Edouard’s future at the club still unclear in the final few days of the window.
