Antoine Griezmann is settling into life at Orlando City after making a strong start to his MLS career.

The French star has now made five appearances for the club since joining from Atlético Madrid, scoring two goals.

His second goal came in Orlando City's 2-1 victory over Monterrey in the Leagues Cup, when Griezmann opened the scoring with a composed finish in the 28th minute. Orlando City confirmed that it was his second goal in four appearances at that point.

Griezmann then started Orlando's next Leagues Cup match against León on August 8, taking his appearance total to five. Orlando lost that game 2-1.

The 35-year-old arrived in Florida this summer after leaving Atlético Madrid and signing for Orlando City as a designated player. His contract runs through the 2027-28 season, with an option for another year.

The World Cup winner has already shown why Orlando made him one of the biggest signings in the club's history.

Two goals in his opening five appearances is a promising start, and the excitement around his arrival has been clear since Orlando announced the move.

Griezmann is now beginning a completely different chapter of his career in the United States.

And so far, he looks to be enjoying it.
