Griezmann wants No.7 shirt at Barcelona amid speculation over future

Antoine Griezmann has suggested he sees his long-term future at Barcelona after saying he wants to claim the number seven shirt.

The France star has endured a difficult first season at Camp Nou since joining for €120 million (£107m/$133m) from Atletico Madrid last year, scoring only eight times in 26 La Liga appearances.

Eric Olhats, the scout who helped to discover Griezmann as a youngster, claimed in an interview with Mundo Deportivo last week that the player "isn't enjoying it" at Barca and is not being helped by the way the team plays.
