Celtic’s talks with VVV-Venlo forward Georgios Giakoumakis are on the right track, according to journalist Konstantinos Lianos.

The Lowdown: Scales announced, two more?

Celtic completed their ninth summer signing on Friday morning with the addition of versatile defender Liam Scales.

Reports earlier in the week suggested that Ange Postecoglou could add three more to his squad, with a versatile midfielder and forward on top of a defender which has proven to be Scales.

That forward could well be Giakoumakis, and after having a £2.6m bid accepted, appear to be making progress when it comes to personal terms with the Greece international.

The Latest: Lianos’ post

Lianos had shared what he knew about a possible transfer on Monday and posted an updated version of events on Thursday morning, claiming the Hoops have a ‘significant advantage over Werder Bremen’.

"What I know about Giorgos Giakoumakis part 2:

- Celtic have an agreement with Venlo in principle for around €3million (£2.6m).

- Talks with Giakoumakis continue and seem to be on the right track.

- Celtic have significant advantage over Werder Bremen"

The Verdict: Giakoumakis in, Edouard out?

It could well be a case of one in and one out before the end of the month in regards to Celtic's attacking ranks.

Giakoumakis could well be the man to come in with talks seemingly heading in the right direction, and should he sign, Odsonne Edouard could seal a long-awaited exit.

The Frenchman has been eyeing up a move away from Parkhead since April, and Bordeaux have now been linked with a late move, so that could be one to keep an eye on along with Giakoumakis.
