An adorable photograph of Memphis Depay together with his Ghanaian father Dennis Depay and Dutch mother Cora Schensema has surfaced on the internet.

The photo of the couple with their newly-born child, which has since gone viral, comes on the back of a video which emerged earlier of Memphis revealing he has reconciled with his biological father, after many years of estranged relationship.

In a post on Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, the viral photo shows Memphis in the hands of his mum alongside his Ghanaian dad in a hospital setting.

The Barcelona superstar had an estranged relationship with his father which even influenced his decision of choosing to represent the Netherlands ahead of Ghana.

Memphis reconciles with his biological father

Memphis Depay says he is ‘now cool’ with his father following years of not being on good terms after his Ghanaian dad abandoned him at a young age.

The Barcelona star grew up without a father figure at home, making it difficult for him at the early stages of his life on the streets of Moordrecht, Netherlands.

In a video posted on social media, the 28-year-old revealed that he has forgiven his father and they are ‘now cool’.

Memphis explains the reason why he turned down a chance to represent Ghana

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Memphis Depay turned down an approach by the Ghana Football Association to have him named in the Black Stars squad due to his father.

The Barcelona attacker was born to a Ghanaian father and a Dutch mother, thus the 28-year-old was eligible to play for the Black Stars. But Depay, who has Ghanaian dual citizenship, Ghana and the Netherlands, chose to represent the European powerhouse, the country of his birth.
