Tottenham Hotspur face competition from Italian giants for Barcelona striker

Memphis Depay could be set for a move away from Barcelona in the summer transfer window. The Dutchman only arrived at Camp Nou last year, signing on a free transfer after his contract with Olympique Lyon had run out.

The 28-year-old made a decent start to life at Camp Nou but a combination of poor form, injury and January signings have seen the Netherlands star fall down the pecking order at Barça.

With Ansu Fati’s imminent return from injury, and the Blaugrana pushing for a new attacking addition in the summer window, Depay’s situation is likely to worsen further. So, there is a solid chance that the ex-Manchester United forward will be on his way out.

The Daily Mail (h/t Fichajes) is now reporting that the Dutch attacker is attracting interest from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and Serie A title-challengers Napoli.

Tottenham are again sweating over the future of superstar forward Harry Kane. The England captain came very close to leaving last summer and with the Lilywhites seemingly set to miss out on Champions League football again, he could decide to pack his bags for good this time.

It would leave Spurs without their main man in attack, something that they hope to address with the signing of Depay. Even if Kane stays, Tottenham can do with additional attacking depth and have reportedly made an offer to sign the Barcelona forward.

As for Napoli, they are set to lose long-serving forward Lorenzo Insigne at the end of the season, with the Italian set to move to the MLS once his contract expires in the summer. It would leave a huge void in their attacking unit, which they intend to fill with Depay’s signing.

Several other Italian clubs are believed to be interested in the Barça striker as well. So, a move to the Serie A come summer could certainly materialise, especially if Tottenham end up missing out on Champions League football.
