Antoine Griezmann has proved himself as one of the best strikers in world football, so who would his ideal strike partner be? Cristiano Ronaldo? Lionel Messi? Usain Bolt?
That's right. It turns out the 25-year-old wants 100m sprinter Bolt to lead the line with him at Atletico. For years now, 100m sprinter Usain Bolt has reiterated his desire to play football professionally and after endless talks about the potential move, it finally looks like his career is about to begin.
In an interview with The Guardian, Bolt admitted that he has "been genuinely talking to people" about the possibility of a post-athletics football career and recently trained with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in the near future, but Griezmann clearly wants him at Atletico.

Griezmann + Bolt = Pace. Lots and lots of pace.
Griezmann was rather complimentary about Bolt, stating that he would be "perfect for our game" and "the best".
"Play against him, no, but with him, yes! I would like him to play up front with me just behind to knock balls deep for him.. I'd leave him all alone with the goalkeeper. I saw that he's trained a bit with Dortmund and Manchester United.

"Speed isn't everything, but he'd be a great striker at Atletico. Usain Bolt would be perfect for our game. Me behind and him up front. The best!"
Manchester United have been linked with a huge bid for Griezmann, so who knows. Usain Bolt could play for his "dream club" as Griezmann sparks a deadly partnership with the Olympic Champion.
Imagine the scenes...
