Arsenal think about Griezmann for next January

Atletico Madrid will not use up the option to buy Griezmann off Barcelona in a year's time. In England, they are talking about Arsenal's interest in the player and 'Sport' reports they will put in an offer in January.

'Los Rojiblancos' will have to pay 40 million euros if the striker plays more than 30 minutes in 50% of Atletico's matches. If he does not do that, they will not have to make the loan deal permanent.

Griezmann's performances have dipped in recent months, up to the point that he has become a secondary figure in the Atletico Madrid attack, led now by Morata and Joao Felix.

Arteta believes that the former Real Sociedad man could make them even better in an attack which has been bolstered significantly by Gabriel Jesus' move to Arsenal.
