happy with life in Spain amid reports linking him with a move
to the Premier League.
Griezmann has established himself as one of the best
forwards in Europe with his form for Atletico, having scored
36 goals in 72 appearances since his €30 million move from
La Liga rivals Real Sociedad last year.
The France international's form has attracted interest from
some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Chelsea, but the
24-year-old - under contract until 2020 - is happy in Madrid.
"I do not feel the need to play in Ligue 1, nor in the Premier
League or in Serie A," Griezmann said on the Canal Football
Club.
"I am in Spain – I'm happy. Life here, football, I like it all."
Atletico face Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday,
knowing that a draw against the Portuguese side will be
enough for them to top Group C.
"We want to win all our games and we'll go out to look for
the win tomorrow," he said.
Benfica got the better of Atletico in their first group stage
match - winning 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon - and
Griezmann is aware of the dangers they pose.
"The game in Madrid was very difficult; they have great
players in attack that can cause problems at any time," he
continued.
"We need to be combative and try to win to secure top spot
in the group.
"Now we know each other better, we are playing with
confidence and we're difficult to score against. Our defence
is very tight and I hope it remains like that."
