Antoine Griezmann tired of summer transfer speculation

Antoine Griezmann says he is tired of speculation over a summer move - three months before the transfer window opens.

Atletico Madrid's star forward is on Manchester United's radar, according to Sky sources, but Griezmann signed a new five-year deal last summer and has made no secret of his reservations about coming to the Premier League.

And despite an admission that he idolised David Beckham as a youngster, the 26-year-old has repeated his intention to stay with Atletico beyond this season.

"It's always the same question and I now don't know what to say," he said in quotes published on Spanish newspaper AS' website.

"I find myself repeating myself and I certainly see myself here. I feel it's an answer that I've given so many times now but that very question is quite tiring."
