3. Antoine Griezmann

As of right now, there aren’t more in form strikers than Atletico’s Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchmen has been on fire this past season and has played a crucial role for his national team so far in the Euros. He scored the game-winner against Albania in stoppage time and his two goals were enough to help France comeback and beat Ireland in the Round of 16.

Griezmann had a fantastic year for Atletico Madrid, scoring 32 goals this season and helping them reach the final of the Champions League. His clever touches and knack for being in the right spot at the right time certainly gave Atletico Madrid a fantastic scoring option and continued the legacy of dangerous Atletico strikers (Sergio Aguero, Falcao, Diego Costa). His speed helped as well including in the second leg in the semi-final when he breezed past the Bayern Munich defense to score the tie-sealing goal.

The Frenchmen has been linked to a move outside of Madrid for a while and he could be on the move to England. Griezmann seemed to put things to a rest after signing a five-year deal before the Euros but according to Spanish newspaper El Confidencial, a move for the striker could still be made to bring him to Chelsea FC.
