#3 Griezmann is a tactically flexible player
During his time at Real Sociedad, Antoine Griezmann burst onto the scene as an electrifying winger; impressive displays at Anoeta saw him seal a switch to Atletico Madrid.
Under Diego Simeone, the Frenchman flourished in a proper no.9 role. He can also function as a number 10 at times, thanks to his creative vision.
All in all, Grizou is a versatile player capable of carrying out different roles to perfection. His skill set consisting of pace, vision, dribbling and finishing makes him a dangerous player to keep a tab on. Signing him would enable Valverde to use several different formations such as 4-3-3, 3-4-3, 4-4-2 and 3-3-1-3.
Having a tactically astute and flexible player like Griezmann will also help Valverde's men perform well in and when Leo Messi is absent, thereby ridding themselves of the burden and negativity of Messidependencia.
