Giorgos Giakoumakis is reportedly ready to receive a double-your-money offer from Urawa Red Diamonds to complete a move from Celtic.
The big-spending J-League outfit face stiff competition from the likes of Germany, Russia and Italy to land the Hoops striker. He joined Ange Postecoglou's men 18 months ago from Dutch side VVV-Venlo for £2.5million - but he now looks set for a January departure with the race to snap up the 28-year-old heating up.
The Scottish Express report that Celtic want a permanent deal and will then look to bring in another striker with South Korean World Cup star Cho Geu-sung their top target. Mainz, Ferencvaros and Galatasaray have also been linked with the Jeonbuk Hyundia Motors striker during this window.
