Arsene Wenger is reportedly preparing a £5 million bid for young French winger Antoine Griezmann.
The 20-year-old, who currently plays for La Liga outfit Real Sociedad, has been targeted by the Arsenal chief following a string of impressive scout reports.
Griezmann has been with the Spanish club since the age of 15 honing his skills and working his way up the ranks. It was only two years ago that the Frenchman managed to break into the first-team set up.
The France Under-21 international, who is primarily a left winger by trade but can also be deployed as a striker, is known for his technical ability, dribbling and quick acceleration.
Despite signing a new five-year deal last season which includes a €30 million release clause, it is believed that Sociedad would consider letting the French youth star depart if healthy offers are tabled this summer.
Griezmann managed to bag 7 goals and 1 assist in 37 appearances for Real Sociedad last season.
If reports are accurate, and Wenger is in fact contemplating a move for Griezmann this summer, then I don’t believe £5 million would be enough to acquire him. Maybe £8 million would seal the deal.
Anyway, here is a video of Griezmann in action:

Griezman is a medium low level player. He is just an average player from a mediocre team… they only achieved to continue in first f*cking spanish division in the last embarrasing game… I agree with Sabre and molinon, Elustondo is the only one that can play in the Premier… others players like Bergara and Estrada are good dudes…but Griezman??????… he is a f*cking bluff
MEDIOCRE TEAM serña tu p. equipo.
MEDIOCRE TEAM will be your f. team.
Mediocre yor f. team!!!

Elustondo>>>>Griezmann. That’s how I see. Many spanish friends tell me he’s like X. Alonso, but physically stronger. I wanna see him in the Arsenal the next season.

You don’t need a player, you need a new trainer, like Jose Mari Bakero Escudero, and a new manager, like Lorenzo Juarros (a) Loren.
