Depay 'has already been signed': Source close to Koeman

Memphis Depay 'has already been signed' by Barcelona, according to Lluis Canut who's said to be very close to Ronald Koeman.

The Dutchman's signing is expected to be officially announced this week. The exact day is yet unknown, however.

On Sunday, Depay produced a decent individual performance against Ukraine despite scoring no goals and recording no assists.

The 27-year-old forward scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists for Lyon last season.
