Liverpool are looking at backup options in case they fail to land Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window. That is according to a transfer insider, who has been on top of the Semenyo saga so far. As per him, the Reds have shortlisted former Manchester United flop, Memphis Depay as a short-term option to bring in during the January window. Depay currently plays for Brazilian club Corinthians, but a move to Liverpool would tempt him, with him being good friends with several Liverpool stars.
Poland almost went ahead after just 70 seconds when Matty Cash picked out Nicola Zalewski with a brilliant cross, but the Atalanta wing-back failed to hit the target from inside the six-yard area. However, he looked to have been bailed out by Kaminski moments before half-time after the 23-year-old finished through the legs of Bart Verbruggen after a give-and-go with Robert Lewandowski.
There was a moment of showboating followed by several of chaos. Memphis Depay stood with both feet on the ball as Corinthians ticked towards glory in the Paulista A1 final against Palmeiras, sparking a mass brawl that eventually led to a player from each side sent off. The move enraged not only the opposition but also the Brazilian football federation, which responded by suggesting the act was a "provocation to a rival and disrespects the game", one punishable by a yellow card.
Memphis Depay etched his name into Dutch football history last week, overtaking Robin van Persie to become the Netherlands' all-time leading scorer with his 51st and 52nd goals. To mark the milestone, PUMA have teamed up with the forward to create the MD51 ULTRA a limited-edition design that tells the story of his journey both on and off the pitch.
