According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Tottenham have already made an enquiry for Memphis Depay earlier this summer but the Barcelona man will need convincing.
Spurs have been linked with a move for the Netherlands international all summer, however, Jacobs believes he’s not interested in a Premier League return.
He told GIVEMESPORT: “Tottenham have enquired already this window and been told he isn’t too keen on a move back to the Premier League.”
There could be a couple of reasons for his reluctance over a move to Spurs. Firstly, the former Manchester United man spent 18 months at Old Trafford scoring only 7 times in 53 appearances before leaving in 2017 and was considered a flop. It’s possible that due to his unsuccessful stint with United, a Premier League return doesn’t appeal to him. However, at the same time, this will be a great opportunity for him to prove his doubters wrong.
Another possible reason could be Spurs’ already star-studded attack which includes the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Moura, and their mega summer signing Richarlison. Tottenham will not be able to promise him regular minutes despite his quality. He’d be an excellent signing for Spurs for their squad but from Depay’s perspective, you could see why Spurs might not be his preferred destination.
