Tottenham are preparing a £15.8million bid for PSV Eindhoven winger Memphis Depay, according to reports in Holland today.
The 20-year-old Dutch World Cup star recently admitted he would welcome a move to one of Europe’s “big leagues” and he has been linked with Manchester United and Spurs following his impressive performances in Brazil.

Depay, who scored against Australia and Chile at the World Cup, said earlier this week: “I did my time at PSV but if nice clubs from big leagues ask, of course I will think about it.
“There is lots of interest but it is an option to stay.
“I understand that fans want me to play well this season in Eindhoven but ultimately I’m the one who decides how my career will look and no one else.”
Dutch newspaper De Telgraaf report today that Spurs are preparing a bid for Depay that is likely to be accepted by PSV.
New Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has already signed Ben Davies and Michael Vorm from Swansea and England Under-21 international Eric Dier from Sporting Lisbon but is looking to strengthen his attacking options.
Spurs are also willing to listen to offers for Kyle Naughton, Nacer Chadli and Michael Dawson as they look to trim the squad ahead of the new season.
