Arsenal have not bid for Real Sociedad star

Spanish side Real Sociedad have confirmed that Premier League outfit Arsenal have not made a formal bid for their midfield-star Antoine Griezmann.

The winger has been attracting interest from England after his fine season in Spain, and according to reports, Arsene Wenger is a big fan of the Frenchman and is keen to sign him this Summer, as he looks to strengthen his FA Cup winning side.

However, Wenger has been told he’d have to pay at least ÂŁ25million if he wants to sign the 23-year-old, and that asking price could be a potential stumbling block for any possible deal.

After reports broke that Arsenal have activated their buy-back clause for striker Carlos Vela, Sociedad moved quickly to confirm that no formal bids have been made for their attacking player.

“I will not comment on whether we have received an offer for Griezmman or not because it’s commenting on hypothesis,” club chief Jokin Aperribay told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

“If an offer arrives we will talk about it, but at the moment there is nothing concrete.”

Griezmann is also wanted by Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
