Memphis Depay

Memphis Depay is a Dutch footballer who plays as a striker or winger. He uses Memphis as his football name as he has a poor relationship with his father who divorced his mother when Memphis was 4 years old.

In the 2011/12 season, Memphis was taken on trial with PSV. He was given the number 22 shirt, debuting in the 1st team in the KNVB Cup 2nd round. Memphis' 1st European football goal came in the 2013/14 season when PSV played in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round. Whilst in the Eredivisie, his contributions ensured that PSV qualified for another European campaign.

Memphis started his Dutch international career in 2013 during the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. His 1st goal in the World Cup, at the age of 20 years and 4 months, made him the youngest Dutch scorer in a World Cup. This did not go unnoticed and Memphis was shortlisted for the World Cup's Best Young Player award.
