Memphis Depay (born 13 February 1994) is a Dutch soccer player who plays as a left winger for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven.

In 2012, Memphis decided to drop Depay from his shirt, and play with Memphis printed instead, due to his father hardly being in his life.

Club career

Memphis playing for PSV in 2011

Early career

In 2011, Depay was on trial for PSV Eindhoven's first team while playing for Jong PSV – the club's reserve team. He featured in the KNVB Cup final on 8 April 2012 under interim coach Phillip Cocu, and was officially deployed in the first team the following day. On 29 June 2012, Depay signed his first professional contract with PSV, tying himself to the Philips Stadion club until 2017.

Breakthrough season

Depay scored his first goal in European football on 30 July 2013, when he drifted in from the left and then smashed the ball into the top corner past goalkeeper Sammy Bossut as PSV defeated Zulte Waregem 2—0 in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie. PSV failed to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League, but in their second group stage match in the Europa League, Depay scored again, this time curling the ball into the net from outside the area, as the Dutch side defeated Chornomorets Odesa 2—0 on 3 October.

Depay provided the assist for Tim Matavž's goal against Roda JC on 27 October 2013, but picked up two seoncd-half yellow cards and was sent off for the first time in his professional career as PSV slumped to a 2—1 defeat. On 15 December, Depay helped PSV to just their second win in 13 matches, scoring twice in a 5—1 win over Utrecht. Depay helped PSV rack up their eighth win a row on 23 March 2014, a 3—1 win over Roda JC, having a hand in Bryan Ruiz's game-winning goal despite wearing a protective mask to cover a bruised eye socket suffered in a challenge with Renato Ibarra of Vitesse on 15 March.

He helped PSV secure a place in European competition for the 41st consecutive year, edging the ball past goalkeeper Jelle ten Rouwelaar to score PSV's first in a 2—0 win over NAC Breda; the final day win ensured that PSV would finish fourth in the Eredivisie table.

International career

Depay made his international debut on 15 October 2013, coming on for Jeremain Lens in the last minute of a 2–0 away win against Turkey in World Cup qualification.

Depay was selected by Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal in the final 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. He came on as a 48th-minute substitute for injured defender Bruno Martins Indi in the second group match against Australia, and 20 minutes later scored the winning goal, a swerving effort from outside the box. By doing so, he became the youngest Dutchman to score a goal at the World Cup, at the age of 20 years and 4 months. He came on as a substitute again in the final group match against Chile on 23 June in São Paulo and scored the second goal for the Dutch, tapping in an Arjen Robben cross, as they clinched first place with a 2–0 victory.
