Tottenham are ready to bring Lyon star Memphis Depay back to England in January.

The Mirror says Tottenham are ready to make a £50million move for Manchester United flop Depay.

The Dutch striker has enjoyed a new lease of life after moving to Lyon and is also now an integral part of Ronald Koeman's impressive Holland side.

Lyon rescued Depay from an underwhelming time at Old Trafford in which he was better known for his flamboyance off the pitch rather than his performances on it.

But since arriving in France in January 2017 the 25-year-old has matured and gone from strength to strength.

That has attracted the attention of a number of leading clubs including Tottenham who have had the speedy forward regularly scouted including in the two recent Champions League games between Lyon and Benfica.
