Atletico Madrid winger Griezmann excited by Chelsea rumours

Atletico Madrid winger Antoine Griezmann is excited by rumours linking him with Chelsea.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is keen on the Frenchman, with a swap deal mooted involving Blues fullback Filipe Luis.

Griezmann's contract carries a €60 million buyout clause, but Chelsea hope to negotiate an affordable fee by including Luis in their offer.

Meanwhile, it's emerged that Griezmann is excited by the news and actively seeking confirmation from his agents.

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos is a fan and commented: "He's in his first season and has scored more than twenty goals. That alone says it all.

"If you can make it in Spain with so many goals, you can do that in Germany."
