The top scorer at last summer’s European Championships, Griezmann has been heavily linked with Man United for what seems like forever now, although he did sign a new contract with Atletico Madrid just last July.
You can see why United were after him – his goal record in Spain has been extremely consistent in recent seasons – especially when you consider he isn’t at Real or Barca - and he’s also scored important goals in the Champions League, he can finish with either foot, he’s very quick and he always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

While United have been the club most heavily linked with him, the question is do they actually need Griezmann? They already have a rich forward line that includes veterans Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney, as well as youngsters Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
Arsenal on the other hand are crying out for a player of his talents, especially with Danny Welbeck on the shelf and Alexis Sanchez potentially departing. With their traditional French links, thanks to Arsene Wenger, could a move for Griezmann be out of the realm of possibility?
