Tottenham Hotspur to make shock move for Antoine Griezmann?

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering a shock move for Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann.

The 30-year-old joined the Catalan side from Atletico Madrid in a £100m deal in July 2019 but returned to his former side on a season-long loan last summer, with an option to make the move permanent by 2023.

New Spurs boss Antonio Conte has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his squad this month, and according to Fichajes, he could be gifted a new attacking option in the form of the Frenchman.

The website says that Griezmann - currently sidelined with coronavirus - could be "enticed" by the prospect of joining a Spurs side that are unbeaten in the Premier League since Conte took the reins at the start of November.

Griezmann's purported transfer fee is thought to be around the £40m mark, although his wages of £300,000 a week - the amount currently earned by Harry Kane - could prove to be a stumbling block.
