Chelsea may have missed chance to sign Memphis Depay amid honest Barcelona admission

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wasn't the only Barcelona forward Chelsea were interested in signing in the summer. Aubameyang arrived on deadline day, penning a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge in an attempt to solve their striker problem.

However, Todd Boehly also launched a late move for Aubameyang's Barcelona team-mate Memphis Depay, although a deal never materialised. The Dutchman chose to stay at Barcelona and fight for his place with their plethora of attacking options.

Depay has played just three times so far this season across all competitions. First-team chances have been limited as the former Manchester United forward competes for a spot with the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Raphinha.
