Griezmann: 'Koscielny speaks to me about Arsenal'

Antoine Griezmann has said that he is happy at Atletico Madrid, despite revealing that Laurent Koscielny tries to tempt him into a switch to Arsenal.

Despite penning a new contract in June, Griezmann has frequently been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Manchester United said to be admirers of the French international.

Griezmann has also suggested that international teammate Koscielny tries to entice him into a transfer to the Emirates Stadium but he has revealed that he intends to remain at the Vicente Calderon.

The 25-year-old told France Football: "For Arsenal, [Koscielny] speaks to me about it often. But I'm good in Madrid. I don't want to leave. I'm happy here.

"I have just had a little girl, I play my games, I'm good. Sorry, I'm going to stay. But Arsenal are a good team, they play good football."

Griezmann has been with Atletico since 2014, while his existing deal will keep him at the club until 2021.
