OPINION
Memphis Depay has been brilliant for Lyon this season, so it is no surprise to see that Liverpool are reportedly interested in the former Manchester United player. The Mirror has claimed that the Reds are eyeing up a “shock” summer swoop for the Netherlands international, who has scored eight goals and supplied 14 assists across all competitions for Lyon this season. Liverpool supporters seem to think that he would be a good signing for them, with some fans on Twitter blown away by the transfer report. However it would be a strange move by Liverpool to sign the £50million-valued Dutchman, when they don’t really need him. Jurgen Klopp needs central midfielders in the summer and maybe a new centre-forward who can offer some more competition to Roberto Firmino. Depay can play as a striker but he is much more effective out on the wings, where Liverpool already have some amazing players. Depay is a good player but unless someone like Sadio Mane leaves, he’s not the right man for the Reds.

Yes. Remember Salah supposedly flopped at Chelsea and 2 seasons with us, it's clear he's a good player. Depay would succeed under Klopp just like Salah has.

Yes please. He will be better under Klopp, and Gini and Virg will help him settle quickly. Make it happen. #LFC
