Arsenal ready to launch bid for French star Griezmann

This could be a game changer!

Arsene Wenger has set his sights on Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann.

The Arsenal manager is a known admirer of Griezmann and is believed to want to wrap up any deal before Euro 2016, according to reports from Fichajes in Spain.

Since then, the Frenchman has averaged a goal every two games and would likely cost far more than the £24m Atletico paid for the 24-year-old when signing him from Real Sociedad.

Meanwhile, the Gunners are also said to be ready to make a £7m move for Aleksandr Kokorin in January after Dynamo Moscow refused a loan request for the 24-year-old from Arsenal in the summer.
