Atletico Madrid winger Antoine Griezmann has moved to reassure fans of the Spanish giants he is happy at the club.

The 24-year-old excelled after his switch from Real Sociedad last summer, scoring 25 goals in all competitions in a stunning debut season at the Calderon club.

Chelsea and Bayern Munich are among the clubs thought to be monitoring his situation but Griezmann insists he is happy with life under Diego Simeone at Atletico.

"Nothing from anyone reached me and I repeat that I only want to help the team," he told AS.

"I only think about Atletico. I have just arrived at this club and I want to grow even more with Atletico. Therefore my thoughts are fixed here."

Griezmann has made 18 appearances for France since his emergence in 2013, scoring 5 goals, and is likely yo feature prominently in the transfer gossip pages next summer yet again is a move fails to materialise this year.
