5 big-money summer signings who are yet to step up this season

#2 Antoine Griezmann

Expectations are yet to be met since Griezmann's big move

French sharpshooter, Antoine Griezmann drew a lot of attention when he publicly snubbed a transfer to Barcelona during the summer of 2018. However, in a surprising turn of events this summer, the attacker finally agreed to join the Blaugrana in a mega-deal worth €120 million.

Given his immense talent and mammoth transfer fee, the ex-Atletico Madrid forward was expected to light up the Nou Camp by forming a deadly connection with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in attack. But, considering his exploits in Catalonia so far, he is yet to reach the expected heights.

Even though the Frenchman has bagged three goals in nine games so far, his brilliance has only appeared in flashes as he continues to struggle with adaptation to the club's system and forming an understanding with Messi. He was dropped for Ousmane Dembele in the last game against Sevilla and will need to step up his game to stabilize his place in the lineup.
