Griffiths started his career with Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 33 goals for the club's under–18 side in the 2017–18 season.[2] In the summer of 2018, refusing to sign professional with Tottenham, he was courted by many clubs, such as RB Leipzig, Real Madrid, Barcelona and PSG.[3] On 1 August 2018, he joined Lyon on a four-year deal.[2] He spent three and a half years with Lyon, largely playing for the club's B team in the Championnat National 2.
