Liverpool launch move for £50m starlet, Manchester United consider swoop for Premier League ace, and more

Liverpool will reportedly battle with Jose Mourinho and Spurs to sign a highly-rated attacker.

Memphis Depay didn't set the world alight when he played for Liverpool's rivals Manchester United, yet in France he has been a revelation for Lyon.

According to Calciomercato, Liverpool and Tottenham will battle to land the £50m ace, who has also become an important player for the Netherlands.

Liverpool already boast one of the most-feared front lines in Europe, but would benefit from high-quality options to bolster their squad.

Whether Depay will join the Anfield club remains to be seen.
