# Tottenham: Spurs considering Memphis Depay move

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are considering a move to sign Barcelona forward Memphis Depay in January, according to journalist Graeme Bailey.**

### The Lowdown: Squad depth needed

The [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) side have recently been hampered by [injuries](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11378819/Tottenham-Son-Heung-mins-worrying-head-injury-takes-gloss-Spurs-big-win-Marseille.html) to integral members of their frontline in the form of Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and now Son Heung-Min, highlighting their lack of options to play alongside Harry Kane.

The Dutchman was [heavily linked](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/spurs-among-quartet-clubs-chasing-memphis-depay-deal) with a move to N17 over the summer, and despite a deal failing to materialise before the deadline, Antonio Conte appears keen to take another bite at the cherry in the New Year.

### The Latest: Spurs monitoring Depay

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/graemebailey/status/1590682500078374916?s=46&t=Re-wUNW2W7oHOAkmP8HhnA), Bailey revealed that Spurs are weighing up an approach for Depay, who is set to be available in the upcoming winter market.

He wrote: “Tottenham looking to strengthen two key positions in January transfer window. More attacking depth is wanted, one name they are considering is Memphis Depay – who \[is\] finally set to leave Barcelona in January.”

Expanding in an article for [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-strengthen-two-key-positions-january-transfer-window), Sean Walsh stated that the Lilywhites will be ‘paying close attention’ to the 28-year-old at the World Cup, with a move to London ‘believed to appeal to him’ as he would be happy to return to the Premier League.

### The Verdict: Perfect for Conte

Whilst Depay has only made [two](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/110154/Show/Memphis-Depay) league starts this season for Barcelona, he has previously been dubbed ‘[outrageous](https://twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1275732165209268231?s=46&t=AJc2o50iZbsql62G-xCs8A)’ by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, and being able to land him on a cut-price deal or free transfer is a no-brainer for Tottenham.

Last term, the forward scored 12 goals and provided two assists in 28 La Liga appearances, and was averaging 2.2 shots per game ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/110154/History/Memphis-Depay)).

That shooting average would put him third among the Spurs squad for this season ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)).

Depay also already has [English top-flight experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/memphis-depay/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/167850/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/985) from his time at Manchester United so he wouldn’t need time to settle into the transition to the Premier League, making him an ideal prospective signing for Fabio Paratici.
