Griezmann signs new Atletico deal

Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has signed a fresh deal with Atletico Madrid keeping the France international at the La Liga side until 2021.

The star forward "has renewed its contract with our club until June 30, 2021," announced Atletico in a statement on Thursday.

It said the 25-year-old "has enjoyed two excellent seasons in our team" since 2014 with a 57-goal haul.

Griezmann is currently on duty with France at Euro 2016, scoring in the tournament hosts' 2-0 win over Albania last week.

The new deal sees Griezmann extending his time at the Champions League finalists by an additional season.
