Former Netherlands manager Dick Advocaat has said that a move to Tottenham would be ideal for Memphis Depay to get his career back on track.
Depay’s career at club level has not delivered what it promised, with the forward struggling to meet expectations during his spells at Manchester United, Barcelona and now Atletico Madrid.
However, he has continued excelling in international football, having found the back of the net 46 times in 98 matches for the Oranje so far.
Spurs are thought to be on the lookout for a centre-forward this summer, with Ange Postecoglou alleged to be ‘obsessed’ with the idea of bringing a top-class number nine through the door (MSN).
The likes of Brentford’s Ivan Toney (GiveMeSport), Lille’s Jonathan David (Football Insider) and Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez (The Standard) have all been mooted as targets for the Lilywhites this summer.
However, Advocaat believes that Depay may be the right man to lead the line for Postecoglou’s side.
He said (via SoccerNews): “If Memphis just goes to a good club, and we’re not talking about Liverpool, then he’s just an excellent striker.”
When pressed on the specific club, he answered: “Spurs”

Depay would work well in an Antonio Conte team which is reliant on the striker to hold the ball up and expects him to get on the end of crosses but the Dutchman does not appear to be a particularly good fit for a Postecoglou side.
