Depay’s previous experience of the Premier League came during a disappointing spell with Manchester United where he scored just seven goals in 53 appearances in all competitions.
Woodman’s Premier League interest
Freddie Woodman had interest from Premier League clubs in the summer - according to Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe.
Woodman started last season in goal for the Magpies but failed to make another appearance for the club after Karl Darlow, and then Martin Dubravka, were back to full fitness.

Hide AdWoodman spent the second half of the season on-loan at Bournemouth before joining Lowe’s Preston on a free transfer this summer - in a move that Lowe revealed was made easier to complete because he and Woodman share the same agency.
Lowe told Lancs Live: “It certainly helped with him being at the same agency as me I’m sure.
“It definitely did down the line, because it was a battle in itself with Premier League clubs on the phone to him when he was driving down here to sign.
“He told them no, that it was done and that his mind and heart was set on it.”
