Olympique Marseille are lining up a January bid for Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann.

The young Frenchman has been a revelation since joining Real and is now wanted back home by Marseille and Olympique Lyon.

Marseille coach Didier Deschamps has given the green light for a €7 million offer to be tabled for Griezmann in January.

The midfielder would arrive as a replacement for Hatem Ben Arfa, who left in August for Newcastle United.
