Yet for Holland, the long-running speculation over Memphis Depay's future was, finally, put to bed over the weekend, as his move to Barcelona on a free transfer from Lyon was confirmed.

Depay, in a post on Twitter, described it as a 'dream' after he earned himself another crack at a European heavyweight following his failed spell at Manchester United.
