Giorgos Giakoumakis is the best finisher at Celtic. On the face of it, the prospect of him leaving the club would appear a big blow. But the simple fact is fans have to trust that Ange Postecoglou will have all angles covered. The manager has proven already that he has a terrific eye in the transfer market and, if someone goes, the evidence suggests one better will arrive.
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Giakoumakis. The Greek took a bit of time to settle at the club, but since he got his fitness at the beginning of this year, he has shown great attributes. Putting the ball in back of the net is, obviously, the most important.
Giakoumakis has great movement in the box. He is strong in the air. Kyogo Furuhashi also has a wonderful knack of putting the ball in the net. But, when I compare the two of them, Giakoumakis edges it for me in the natural finishing stakes. As well as that ability to find the right areas in the box, there is so much more to his game.
