Atletico Madrid chief Caminero welcomes Griezmann arrival

Former Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann has completed his move to Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann has officially joined Atletico Madrid after signing a six-year contract with the Spanish champions.

Atletico sporting director Jose Luis Caminero has expressed his delight at finally signing the forward, who originally declared his interest in joining Los Rojiblancos back in 2011.

"I'm very happy that we have secured a deal for his arrival," Caminero told the club's official website.

"Antoine was a priority for us and thankfully we've made it a reality. He is one of the best players in our league, as he demonstrated with Real Sociedad.

"He can play perfectly on the wing or behind the striker due to his speed; he can score goals, he has a great shot on him and he is a magnificent assist provider.

"His signing is great news for our club."
