Antoine Griezmann Singles Out Premier League Star Mesut Ozil as an ‘Outstanding Player’
Griezmann’s comments came before Atletico faced Bayern Munich in the final game of their respective Champions League group – while Atletico lost the game 1-0, they still go through to the knockout rounds as group leaders.
Speaking to Reviersport – via the ​Express – Griezmann had this to say about the World Cup winner:
“He’s an outstanding player. I rate his style of play, his passing quality and also that he always finds a solution with a long ball or a dribble. He’s elegant with the ball.
“I also liked Miroslav Klose, as a scorer with a nose for goal and strong on headers. I really liked how he tracked back.”
The Gunners are reported to be facing the problem of losing Ozil on a free transfer in the summer as he looks no closer to signing a new contract, with the Daily Mirror recently claiming he had his heart set on a move to Manchester United and had told team-mates he was confident of the deal going through.
