Tottenham are interested in FC Barcelona and Netherlands forward Memphis Depay, according to reports coming out of Spain<\/p>\n

Depay would join the Spanish powerhouse on a free transfer this past summer after his contract with Lyon expired.<\/p>\n

Depay would go on to start 2021\/22 as Barca\u2019s main striker, scoring four and assisting two in his first eight La Liga outings of the campaign.<\/p>\n

However, due to a combination of injury, a change in manager and a busy January for Barcelona, Depay is now a fringe star.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has scored twice in his last four league games, but has not been handed more than 19 minutes of action in any of those matches.<\/p>\n

Instead, La Blaugrana have been relying on Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for most of their goals.<\/p>\n

So, with Depay now firmly down the striker pecking order in Catalonia, could he be moved on this summer?<\/p>\n

The Express<\/a> citing Mundo Deportivo report that Tottenham have made an offer for Depay. No potential transfer fee is mentioned in the report.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Should Tottenham sign Depay?<\/h2>\n

If Tottenham do end up signing Depay it would probably be a smart move as Spurs have, for many years now, lacked a decent back-up option to Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

The presence of another centre-forward could also allow Antonio Conte to switch to a 3-5-2 instead of his current 3-4-3.<\/p>\n

If Depay is being targeted as a replacement for Harry Kane, though, the Lilywhites should look elsewhere as he has never been able to perform consistently at the highest level for a big club, struggling massively during his last spell in England with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
