Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Antoine Griezmann, Oleksandr Zinchenko

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has put Arsenal on high alert after confessing he’d like to try his hand in the Premier League if he left La Liga. Meanwhile, the agent of Oleksandr Zinchenko has said the Gunners were desperate to land his client this summer.

Arsenal are one of the European outfits linked with France international Griezmann, and he told broadcaster Telefoot (h/t talkSPORT) he’d consider a move to England in the event he leaves the Vicente Calderon:

I cannot go to Real [Madrid], there is a pact between the two clubs that prohibits a transfer. At Barca, there is no pact but their front three are indispensable. PSG? It is an interesting possibility but Ligue 1 does not interest me for now.

I would prefer to stay in La Liga or go to the Premier League.

The 25-year-old is one of the most valued commodities in La Liga right now and has boosted his reputation further after netting nine times in 17 appearances this season, six of which have come in La Liga.

However, Griezmann is proving himself as a force to be reckoned with in European competition also, as highlighted by Sky Sports Statto after last Wednesday’s 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven:
