Antoine Griezmann

After adding Chori Castro and signing Carlos Vela on a permanent deal, Real Sociedad are now confident of holding onto Griezmann and improving on last seasons mid table finish. The Frenchman is seen by many as La Liga’s brightest starlet in the under 21 category after signing his first professional contract with the Basque club back in 2009.

Despite his lack of size, Griezmann is yet to fall victim of any form of serious injury playing over 35 games in his three seasons with the club, he’s also shown all the assets to compete at the very top level of World football with game defining performances against the likes of Valencia and Barcelona.

Featuring heavily in France’s underage levels Griezmann has been touted for a full cap in the not too distant future, his versatility and all round ability mean Sociedad have one of the best prospects not only in La Liga but also in World football.
