Tottenham are working on a £17million move for Holland World Cup star Memphis Depay – dubbed the new Cristiano Ronaldo.

The PSV winger is rated as one of the best young players around, and he showed his quality after coming off the bench to help the Netherlands down Australia earlier this week.

Spurs scouts, who are attending most World Cup matches looking for talent, were present and a deal to sign him is now on the cards.

Depay is also a target for Manchester United but Mauricio Pochettino believes he can win the 20-year-old over with a detailed plan on his development.




Pochettino is keen to develop exciting young players at White Hart Lane and that will attract Depay, who has previous insisted he would only leave PSV for the right club.

Tottenham are set for a shrewd period of summer business, but a big bid for Depay shows the club’s intentions to develop players still remains strong.
