Man Utd flop Memphis Depay ‘seduced’ by Premier League return with Arsenal among English giants keen on transfer
MEMPHIS DEPAY could make a sensational return to England after being ‘seduced’ by several Premier League clubs.
Superdeporte claims the former Manchester United flop is being courted by no less than three major sides.
Arsenal, Newcastle and Everton have all reportedly made contact with Barcelona over a summer move.
And Depay could be keen for a second shot in England after failing miserably at Old Trafford.
The Dutch international, 28, joined United in 2015 with high expectations.
But he managed just two goals in 33 Premier League games and was shipped off to Lyon after 18 months.
However, Depay reforged his career in France, netted an impressive 63 times in 139 Ligue matches.
And he was rewarded with a free transfer to Barcelona last summer, where he currently has 10 goals in 21 LaLiga outings.
However, Xavi Hernandez is already fully stocked in attacking positions, with the likes of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati ready to lead for many years.
And with Depay only signing a TWO-year deal last summer, Barca feel they may have to cash in now so they can strengthen other areas of their squad.
