Report: Arsenal could now sign £339m star for just £25m this summer

Arsenal have been linked with Memphis Depay in recent days.

Spanish outlet ABC – via the Daily Express – have reported that the Gunners have enquired about the 28-year-old.

As well as Arsenal, the likes of West Ham and Juventus are also said to have asked about Depay.

The Netherlands international joined Barcelona on a free transfer last summer.

Depay penned a contract with a reported €400m (£339m) release clause.

He has registered 12 goals and two assists from 27 La Liga appearances this season.

However, the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January has meant Depay has often played out wide under Xavi.

Depay only signed a two-year contract at Barca, with his current deal expiring at the end of next season.

And Barca may well look to cash in and make a profit on a player they snapped up for nothing.

Now, according to Sport, Barca would be willing to accept around £25million to sell Depay.

If the report is true, then Arsenal shouldn’t pass up on the opportunity.

Depay is a high-calibre player who can feature on the flanks and up front.

Arsenal are desperate for a new centre-forward and could also do with reinforcements out wide.

Admittedly, Depay struggled at Manchester United, but he’s developed a lot as a player since then.

He has Premier League experience, wouldn’t break the bank, and probably feels he has a lot to prove in the Premier League.

If Arsenal were to get their hands on Depay, they’d have an incredibly talented and extremely motivated forward in their ranks.
