Giorgos Giakoumakis will play a big part for his country despite what happens with his future at Celtic.
That is the view of Greece national team manager Gus Poyet, who has laid out the striker's impact will be key going forward should he move to the MLS or Japan. Reports of an exit from Celtic Park have been swirling for weeks after contract talks with the Hoops stalled over wage demands.
Now the 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Uwara Red Diamonds in the J-League and most recently Atalanta United in America and Cadiz in Spain. And while Ange Postecoglou continues to bang the drum that Giakoumakis hasn't received a formal offer, it looks increasingly likely the forward will leave Glasgow this month.
