3 replacements for the wantaway Dimitri Payet at West Ham

Memphis Depay

Everton appear to be the frontrunners for the signature of Manchester United midfielder Memphis Depay, but could West Ham hijack their move for the Dutchman?

The 22-year-old has struggled ever since he made the move from PSV Eindhoven back in 2015, and has this season been restricted to just three substitute appearances in the Premier League.

Nonetheless, Depay clearly has potential, as we have seen when he was at PSV and indeed for the Dutch national team, but he needs a platform and the backing to go out and reach that potential.

He has got pace and trickery in the final third, and would certainly inject some creativity into the Hammers’ front line – it would be a risk, but one that could certainly pay off for West Ham.
