Antoine Griezmann could be heading to Arsenal

The France star has been heavily linked with a move away from Atletico Madrid in recent months.

Griezmann, 26, nearly joined Manchester United this summer.

However, the striker snubbed Jose Mourinho after Atletico were hit with a transfer ban, meaning they cannot field players they sign until January.

And according to Ladbrokes, Griezmann may snub United and join Arsenal at the end of the season to replace Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

The odds have been slashed from 10/1 to 4/1 after Alexandre Lacazette announced he would try to persuade the hitman to join the Gunners.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Wenger may have to accept he'll lose two of his key men in the next few months, but the latest odds suggest Griezmann may just soften that blow by agreeing to trade Atleti for Arsenal."

Sanchez and Ozil could both leave the Emirates at the end of the season on free transfers if Arsenal do not sell in January.

And Gunners star Lacazette is planning ahead, revealing he’ll try to get Griezmann to sign for Arsenal.

The 26-year-old striker said: “Yeah, we are very good friends and have lots of fun.

“Our nicknames for each other are Griezzy and Lacaz.

“If Griezzy visits me in London, I’m going to ask him to sign for Arsenal!”
