10 best finishers in world football right now

#9 Antoine Griezmann

Easily Atletico Madrid's best player, Antoine Griezmann has been at the forefront of Rojiblancos' good performances in the last 3 years. The Frenchman has scored more than 20 goals in all his three previous seasons at Atletico Madrid and he has often been the difference between a win and a draw for Diego Simeone's side.

A versatile left-footed forward, Griezmann is capable of playing as a lone striker, on the wings or even as a supporting striker. Quick, skilled and blessed with excellent technical ability, Griezmann is not only good with his feet, he is surprisingly effective in the air as well.

The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and it will be interesting to see how Griezmann fares in the Premier League if the move does indeed happen in the future.
