Memphis Depay's move to Fenerbahce
Memphis Depay's transfer to Fenerbahce has been a topic of discussion since he announced that he would not be renewing his contract with Manchester United earlier this summer. The Dutch international finally moved to the Turkish club earlier this week, after completing the necessary medical tests and signing the contract with the team's officials. During his time at United, Memphis Depay was one of their most expensive signings and showed some impressive performances early on in his career, but was quickly overshadowed by players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Some more information 8Xbet describe in detail bellow...
What position would he play? Memphis Depay will most likely play a wide forward role in a 4-3-3 system. With Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Carrasco on loan from AS Monaco, he will look to battle for a starting position on his left wing against Alper Potuk and Simon Kjaer who have also played that position for Fenerbahce at times. Simao Sabros is an option as well, but doesn't seem to fit as well because of his age. The Turkish side has been linked with some other players too such as Vincent Aboubakar, Ismail Goncalves or even former Galatasaray player Bruma. It remains to be seen if they will bring in any more forwards before January though. The main thing that would hold them back is their current budget situation, which hasn't been great over recent years due to poor financial management by previous boards and lack of Champions League football which means less revenue for them.
What are his strengths? Well-travelled, hard-working and an exceptionally skilful attacker. Blessed with searing pace and potent finishing ability, he is one of Europe’s most prolific wingers at present. He has scored 21 goals in 29 appearances for club and country so far in 2017. Despite his tender age (22), he already boasts a Champions League winners medal from his time at PSV Eindhoven. It was no surprise that Manchester United snapped him up when they did, but it remains to be seen whether they will regret letting him go...
How would he adapt to life in Turkey? Now that Memphis Depay has joined Turkish giants Fenerbahce, there will be a lot of pressure on him to perform. As one of Europe’s most prolific attackers in 2016/17, he will have high expectations to live up to at his new club. In many ways, Turkey might provide more pressure than England, as they expect their players to perform at a high level. However, if he adapts quickly and performs well in his first few games for his new club he could excel in Turkey. His best chance of success is by using all of his experience from playing in England, where he was previously with Manchester United. His speed, skill and ability to score goals from long range should help him succeed in Turkey.
