Memphis Depay passes Arsenal World Cup audition but Arteta has huge reason to block transfer

Arsenal strengthened in the forward department in the summer by signing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City. However, the early months of the season have shown that the Gunners still lack strength in depth throughout the forward line.

With the wide and forward areas needing to be strengthened, one player who is a possibility for the Gunners is Memphis Depay from Barcelona, as it would give Arsenal fluidity in the attack between the Dutchman and Gabriel Jesus, who himself has now been rocked by a knee injury. Arsenal were reportedly interested in the summer, but a deal never materialised for the Barcelona man.

Depay sent a transfer reminder by scoring for the Netherlands in the World Cup against the USA. However, a warning was sent to Mikel Arteta about a potential transfer just days before he scored the opening goal of the World Cup knockout stages.
