Everton FC v Olympique Lyon - UEFA Europa League
Depay against Everton this season

Depay has been absolutely sensational this season. Playing alongside Mariano Diaz and Bertrand Traore in the front three with supply coming from the phenomenal Nabil Fekir, Depay has been a thorn in opponent's defences all season.

He has scored 10 and assisted 5 goals, which is already more than what he had all of last season. His reaction to being subbed off this past weekend against Nice when he was on a hat-trick and his team were already 4-0 up shows that he has got his fire back.

It was only this January that his short spell at Manchester United came to an end, but he has shown a level of maturity this season that are years beyond a normal 23-year-old. It's clear that while his time at United may not have been the best, he has taken only positives and added that to his game and with continued performances like what he has shown, it won't be too long before another big gun comes calling.
