The 26-year-old netted 11 goals across his last 16 matches for the Dutch national side and has also developed into the star attacking player at Lyon – netting 53 goals in 136 appearances.
Memphis started his career at PSV Eindhoven but endured a tough stint at Manchester United across 18 months before moving to Lyon in January 2017.
Combing technical expertise with his physicality, Memphis has re-emerged back into one of Europe’s most highly rated attacking players during his time in Ligue 1.
Having recovered from a serious knee injury earlier in the season, Memphis helped lead Lyon to the semi-finals of this season’s Champions League.
We the fans worry about the culb for next season how it will be like.
