Report: Arsenal want Dutch star who Marc Overmars called ‘fantastic’
Arsenal could be set to try and persuade Lyon forward Memphis Depay to return to the Premier League,
The Dutchman endured a relatively unsuccessful time of things at Manchester United but has performed well since leaving Old Trafford.
It looks set to be a busy summer for the Gunners. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have both been linked with moves away from the Emirates Stadium.

He has netted 53 goals and registered 43 assists for the French outfit, becoming the club captain more recently.
At 26, he would fit into the ethos that Arteta wants to stamp on the Gunners and he’d also have a point to prove.
His pace, flair and direct approach could see him become a hit in North London.
