Chelsea are refusing to end their chase for Antoine Griezmann according to reports.

The Daily Mirror is of the belief that the Blues are not throwing in the towel despite the fact Atletico Madrid are playing hardball regarding the Frenchman.

Chelsea have made no secret of their desire to sign Griezmann this summer but Atleti have thus far stood strong on their asking price.

However, the Londoners are determined to lure the 25-year-old forward to Stamford Bridge and will not cease their pursuit until they have exhausted every avenue and possibility.

Griezmann, who has also been linked with Manchester United, has scored 29 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions for Atletico this season and is contracted at the Vicente Calderon until the summer of 2020.
