Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann has ruled out a move to Arsenal in the near future, insisting that he's 'good' at Atletico and doesn't see himself going anywhere for the time being.
Having been voted French Player of the Year for 2016, the 25-year-old admitted to France Football (viaESPN FC)that international teammate Laurent Koscielny often discusses the possibility of a switch to north London with him - but insisted that he was happy with his life in Madrid.

He said: "For Arsenal, he speaks to me about it often. But I'm good in Madrid. I don't want to leave. I'm happy here.I have just had a little girl, I play my games, I'm good. Sorry, I'm going to stay. But Arsenal are a good team, they play good football."
The Ballon d'Or nominee also ruled out a cross-city hop to Real Madrid, saying:"I'm so good at Atletico. Honestly, I don't see myself leaving. People often talk to me about England too, but I'm good here.
"And also, going from Atletico to Real must be difficult. I don't necessarily have the desire to try, nor to ask those who have already done it. No, I'm not thinking about it."
He added:"If one day I came to Ligue 1, it would be to Lyon or Marseille. When I started watching matches, it was those of Marseille. After that, it was Lyon. I went to see them all the time in the league or the Champions League with my dad.
"Sometimes it was minus 4 [degrees], but we went all the same. I loved it. I even posted a picture of myself with [former Lyon striker] Sonny Anderson on Twitter. I loved him too."
