Reports on Wednesday evening indicated that Liverpool were looking at the possibility of making a bid for Real Sociedad’s French international, Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman had a part to play at the World Cup, helping his country push the Germans all the way in the quarter-finals.
After putting in a hell of a season for the Spanish side, the young French international was always going to attract interest this summer but it’s quite surprising that nobody has yet made a solid bid to Sociedad, despite the players star being very much on the rise.
Beginning his career with the Spanish side, Griezmann has been an ever-present since making his debut in 2009 and has gone on to make over 200 appearances for the club, amassing 52 goals in the process. For a midfielder that’s 1 goals every 4 games, or 10 goals a season in an average 40 game season. Impressive enough, as it stands, particularly for a player that’s yet to even turn 24, but when you consider that he has bettered his goals tally every season since his debut season for Sociedad, culminating in a 20 goal season last year, it make the winger’s rise even more impressive.
With Liverpool looking for a standout player to fill the void that Luis Suarez will leave, there is a definite call from the fans for a signing that really whets the appetite. Could Griezmann be that man?
Yes
Yes, absolutely. Please sign him.
He seems like a smashing young player. Lets hope we sign him.
sign him and Marco reus and we will be a big problem in Europe
I saw this dude destroy switzerland,the game changed immensively against Nigeria when he came in…His ability to push the ball ahead of defenders is amazing… Why not bring him to Arnfield
agile and skilful intelligent with ball.
Would be a great signing but can’t see it happen.
