Liverpool are looking at backup options in case they fail to land Antoine Semenyo in the January transfer window. That is according to a transfer insider, who has been on top of the Semenyo saga so far. As per him, the Reds have shortlisted former Manchester United flop, Memphis Depay as a short-term option to bring in during the January window. Depay currently plays for Brazilian club Corinthians, but a move to Liverpool would tempt him, with him being good friends with several Liverpool stars.
