Arsenal Transfer News: Latest on Antoine Griezmann, Fresh Aleix Vidal Rumours

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has said he'll do his best to lure friend and Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann to the Emirates Stadium in the near future. Elsewhere, Barcelona are said to have opted not to sell Gunners target Aleix Vidal.

Arsenal broke their transfer record when signing Lacazette from Lyon in a £52.5 million move this past summer, and Goal's Chris Wheatley provided quotes from the Frenchman, speaking to Match of the Day magazine:

The forward's France team-mate, Griezmann, came close to a Premier League move of his own and would have joined Manchester United were it not for Atletico's transfer ban convincing him to stay, according to his former agent Eric Olhats, per The Independent.
