On Sunday The Daily Star went with a story saying: ‘EXCLUSIVE: Premier League giants all desperate to do a deal for Antoine Griezmann’

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal were all named. For the latter, the newspaper said ‘Starsport has been told that Arsenal would explore the possibility of doing the deal, too.’

Then on Monday there was another article, mainly dropping the other clubs, and going with the headline: ‘Inside source reveals big Arsenal transfer news: Fans will love this… An inside source has told Starsport the Gunners WILL explore the possibility of signing him if he becomes available.’

It was basically the same story as the previous day but singling Arsenal out has caught more attention in Spain. It’s a caused a ripple, not yet a wave, and several of the major Spanish media outlets have touched upon the claims.

This story is slowly evolving with little bits being added to it here and there, with seemingly no reason to do so.

Tuesday’s copy of L’Equipe covers Griezmann potentially moving soon in an article covering his rise.

L’Equipe say it’s no longer a case of if Griezmann will find a place at a top club, but rather a matter of when.

The clubs named by L’Equipe are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
