Trevor Sinclair has raved about reported Tottenham Hotspur target Memphis Depay on Twitter and has compared him to Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.

The former Manchester City winger believes that Depay has developed a lot since he was playing for Manchester United.

Sinclair made the comments about the 27-year-old forward while watching him in action for the Netherlands against Ukraine in Euro 2020 last night.

The attacker took two shots of which one was on target, played three key passes, had a pass accuracy of 84.6%, took 81 touches, attempted four dribbles, and put in five crosses.

As we covered here on HITC Sport,  FC Inter News reported this month that Tottenham, Barcelona and Inter Milan are interested in signing Depay on a free transfer this summer.

The former United forward is leaving Lyon this summer and will become a free agent.

Depay had a tough time at United, and not many fans of the Red Devils will have been too disappointed when he left for Lyon in 2017.

The forward has been superb for Lyon over the past four years, and there is no wonder that Tottenham, Barcelona and Inter all reportedly want him.

The Dutchman scored 20 goals and gave 12 assists in Ligue 1 this past season.

If Tottenham are able to sign Depay this summer, then they would be getting a very competent and developed player who is at the top of his game.
