Rumour: Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool & Everton all in the hunt for Real Sociedad’s Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Griezmann, the talented French winger

According to the Mirror, Antoine Griezmann is on the radars of a multitude of Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton.

The Real Sociedad winger has lit up La Liga this season and leads the scoring charts for his team with 16 goals in 31 appearances.

The understanding is that Real Sociedad will be willing to listen to any offers exceeding £20 million.

Previously, Paris Saint-Germain emerged as favourites to snap up the 23-year-old Frenchman, who has earned a call-up to the national side and is pushing for a World Cup berth.

Griezmann would certainly feel at home with the healthy French contingent at Arsenal – and the North Londoners do need cover for Theo Walcott – but Wenger is believed to be more concerned with finding a striker to lighten Olivier Giroud’s load.

Manchester United might be well-stocked in the wingers department (Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, and Nani), but Griezmann would represent a step up in quality from these players. David Moyes, however, might prioritise other more pressing areas (central defense and midfield) in his expected summer overhaul.
