Spanish website ABC say West Ham have made an enquiry with Barcelona over a move for Memphis Depay. Arsenal have also in talks for Depay alongside West Ham, while other reports say he is a target for Tottenham.

Depay, 28, joined Barcelona last summer on a free from Lyon – but only signed a two-year deal with the Nou Camp club. He has clocked up 37 games for Barca, scoring 13 goals – but signings have pushed him down the order.

The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Adama Traore have limited his game time – as have injuries. With the 77-time Netherlands international set to enter the last 12 months of his deal, interest is rife.

ABC, as per the Express, say West Ham, Juventus and Arsenal have all asked about him. Tottenham are also said to have made an offer to bring Depay back to the Premier League, after a poor spell at Manchester United.

So, where is best for Depay? The chance to remain at Barcelona for another season, a move to Juventus, or a return to the Premier League with one of the three London clubs? Spurs are set to qualify for the Champions League.

But he would not start, with Harry Kane first choice. Juventus have Dusan Vlahovic, but he needs to leave Barcelona with Aubameyang first choice. So, a move to West Ham or Arsenal would be Depay’s best option this summer.
