Giorgos Giakoumakis, a forward born on December 9, 1994, hails from Greece. He primarily plays the position of striker for Cruz Azul, weighs in at 184cm (6ft) tall and 84kg (13st 3lb) weight. Fans commonly recognise him by his jersey, assigned to number 11.

Giakoumakis's career in football began in July 2012 when he joined Platanias in the Football League in Greece. His first season saw nine first-team appearances with five in the following season, and gradually increased appearances throughout the next four seasons, the last of which saw him score 11 goals. His stay with Platanias was punctuated by a brief transfer to and from Episkopi.

July 2017 brought a shift for Giakoumakis who transferred to the Greek Super League to AEK Athens, with the fee undisclosed. Throughout his sojourn there, his appearances varied from six to 13 in each season. During his time at AEK Athens, he was loaned out to OFI Crete marking ten first-team appearances with two goals. He later served a term in the Polish league with Gornik Zabrze on loan, where he scored three goals over 12 appearances.

His journey in soccer persisted, and in August 2020, Giakoumakis found himself signed to VVV-Venlo in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands. His season here was profoundly prolific, scoring an impressive 26 goals in 30 appearances.

Giakoumakis made a milestone move in August 2021, when he signed for Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a fee of approximately £2.5m. His performance during his two-season stint at Celtic were satisfactory, with a total of 19 goals scored in 40 appearances.

In a twist of fate, Giakoumakis transferred from Celtic to Atlanta United in the MLS in the USA for a fee of around £4.3m in 2023. Here, his scoring prowess continued, netting 17 goals in 27 appearances in the 2023 season.

His travels in football didn't stop there. In July 2024, Giakoumakis transferred from Atlanta United to Cruz Azul in the Mexican Liga MX for an approximately £7.9m. His current (2024-2025) season with Cruz Azul has seen him make nine first-team appearances and score five goals thus far.
