Tottenham keen on £159k-a-week star who could join for free after World Cup

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their attacking options during the January transfer window.

According to a report from 90 Min, Memphis Depay is on Antonio Conte’s radar and they could look to snap him up for a bargain.

The report from 90 Min claims that Spurs will be keeping tabs on Depay during the Qatar World Cup. The player is looking to leave Barcelona and he might be allowed to leave on a free transfer after the mega event.

Spurs could definitely use more depth in their attack and Depay would be a quality addition. He has played in the Premier League before and the Dutchman will be determined to prove his quality in English football.

His spell at Old Trafford was quite underwhelming but the £159k-a-week star has the quality to thrive in the Premier League.

Furthermore, he has the versatility to play anywhere across the front three and he could be a utility man for Conte.

Depay has fallen down the pecking order at Barcelona and he needs to leave in order to play more often. He has played just thrice for the Spanish club this season and has one goal in 131 minutes across all competitions.

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League table and they could finish the season strongly with a couple of intelligent additions in January. Depay certainly has the quality to be a match-winner and signing him on a free transfer could prove to be a masterstroke from Daniel Levy.
