Newcastle United have reportedly made an offer for Barcelona striker Memphis Depay.
The striker has impressed at the World Cup by once again being a key man for the Netherlands. He has top-flight experience in England, France and Spain, and a return to the Premier League may be on the cards.
Eddie Howe is apparently looking for reinforcements to bolster his squad for the second half of the season, after an exceptional start to the campaign for the Magpies. They are third in the league, have only lost one game and are unbeaten at home.

Newcastle bet on Depay
The 28-year-old striker’s current contract expires next summer, although Newcastle are looking to acquire his services as soon as possible and have made a £17.5m offer to Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo.
However, the report also states that Depay is unwilling to leave the club in the winter and would prefer to wait until his contract expires.
