Griezmann joins the London club for £45 million and is handed the number 9 shirt upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

The France international is predominantly used as a central attacking midfielder with Eden Hazard the preferred option on the left-wing. Griezmann frequently partners Diego Costa up front when Conte switches to a 3-5-2 system in the latter stages of the season.

The 25-year-old helps Chelsea to a second place finish behind Manchester City as Chelsea rack up 80 points over the 38 games.

Griezmann enjoys a positive first season in English football, scoring 12 times and assisting 10 goals, his average match rating is also impressive at 7.62 – amongst the very top performers in the league.

Conte’s side go on to win their eighth FA Cup, beating West Brom 3-0 in the final with Griezmann assisting the third goal for Diego Costa

Chelsea qualify for the Champions League but are knocked out at the quarter-final stage at the hands of PSG.
