Antoine Griezmann has been talked up as a Chelsea target
The Atletico Madrid ace has been touted as a striker target for the Blues, who are desperate to bolster their firepower.
Recent reports have suggested that Atletico are keen on re-signing the misfiring Diego Costa, who is thought to have a £28million release clause in his contract.
Chelsea tracked Griezmann's signature in the summer, and were prepared at the time to pay more than £40m for his signature.

"I do not feel the need to play in Ligue 1, nor in the Premier League or in Serie A," Griezmann said as quoted by talkSPORT.
