Giorgos Giakoumakis 'big loss' to Celtic claims Chris Sutton as he reveals Oh Hyeon-gyu verdict

Chris Sutton says Giorgos Giakoumakis leaving Celtic would be a 'big loss' to Ange Postecoglou even with the arrival of Oh Hyeon-Gyu.

The Hoops look set to lose star man Giakoumakis to MLS side Atalanta United in a deal worth a reported £4m. The 28-year-old has been viewed by some as a back-up player during his stint in Glasgow to first choice Kyogo Furuhashi but the Greek's goal contributions have played a key part to Postecoglou's men. Yet contract talks stalled in Glasgow last month and an exit looks close.

Postecoglou moved to recruit Korean forward Hyeon-Gyu from the K-League as his fourth signing of the winter window, with the 21-year-old admitting a dream move to Parkhead had to become reality. But Celtic hero Sutton has revealed his concern about the potential loss of Giakoumakis and says Oh will be a 'work in progress'.
