# Celtic: Giakoumakis to undergo Hoops medical

**VVV-Venlo striker Georgios Giakoumakis will undergo his Celtic medical in Paris on Sunday, according to journalist [Johnny Georgopoulos](https://twitter.com/YanniRamone/status/1431354513752039426).**

### The Lowdown: Fee agreed

The Hoops have been [linked](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/georgios-giakoumakis-celtic-transfer-talks-24777756) with a move for the 26-year-old for almost two weeks now.

Ange Postecoglou [personally called](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/georgios-giakoumakis-celtic-transfer-talks-24777756) the striker over a deal and an initial fee of [€2.5m](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/georgios-giakoumakis-celtic-transfer-fee-24794776) has been agreed on between the two clubs.

Giakoumakis, on just [€750-a-week](https://footballleaguefc.com/vvv-venlo-2020-21-player-wages/) (£642) with Venlo, could well become Dominic McKay’s [10th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) summer signing in his first window as CEO, and it seems as if a move has taken a further step forward ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.

### The Latest: Sunday medical

According to [Georgopoulos](https://twitter.com/YanniRamone/status/1431354513752039426), Giakoumakis will undergo his medical in France on Sunday.

The journalist revealed that he has accepted Celtic’s offer and that it would now be a ‘big surprise’ if he didn’t make the move to Glasgow.

### The Verdict: Edouard to depart?

With Giakoumakis now likely to join Celtic, that could mean that Odsonne Edouard will get the Parkhead exit he has wanted since [April](https://www.footballinsider247.com/edouard-wants-out-regardless-of-new-celtic-manager-appointment/).

The Hoops have Crystal Palace, Bordeaux and Rubin Kazan all [interested](https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1431346089068843010) in a late auction for the Frenchman, and it seems as if a deal could be on the cards with the 23-year-old into the final [12 months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/odsonne-edouard/profil/spieler/344152) of his contract.

The pending arrival of Giakoumakis may well give Edouard the green light to move away, so it looks set to be an interesting last few days of the window.
