Antoine Griezmann: 'Move would help France chances'

Real Sociedad attacker Antoine Griezmann has suggested that he would be open to leaving the La Liga club this month.

The 22-year-old has recently been linked with a move to Arsenal, with manager Arsene Wenger said to be keen to ease the burden on Olivier Giroud.

When asked about his future by Spanish radio station RMC, Griezmann conceded that a transfer could boost his prospects of playing for the French national side ahead of this summer's World Cup.

"I am relaxed about my future at the moment," he said. "I have not had talks other clubs yet.

"This is something to look at. I want to play for a leading European team and I hope this can help me get a place in the France team."

Griezmann has scored 12 goals in 23 appearances for Sociedad this season.
