Wreaks havoc again versus Lecce Malen scored two goals to go with five shots (three on target) and one chance created in Monday's 4-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Malen hit the net twice early, taking advantage of a miscue to slot it home from an advantageous position and then dinking it over the goalie on a square ball from the left flank. He could have arguably had a bigger day despite the brace, as he scuffed a pair of easy finishes. He's up to five goals and has added five shots (three on target) and one key pass in each of the first two games.

Completes hat-trick versus Fiorentina Malen scored three goals to go with five shots (three on target) and one chance created in Monday's 4-0 win against Fiorentina.

Impact Malen was a man possessed in the opener and found the target thrice with tidy finishes from inside the box, outsmarting a defender with an incredible first touch on the first one and benefitting from a poor save on the second one. Instead, the third one was a simple tap-in. He also led his team in attempts. He picked up where he left off after scoring 14 goals in just 18 Serie A matches last season, adding two assists, 70 shots (31 on target) and eight chances created.

Creates three chances against Tunisia Malen generated two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three chances created and drew two fouls in Thursday's 3-1 victory over Tunisia.

Impact Malen paced his side in key passes alongside a pair of teammates and was more productive than in the previous game despite not looking totally at ease on the wing. He'll likely stay there, splitting duties with Crysencio Summerville, given Brian Brobbey's strong outings. He was active but a bit sloppy overall. He has uncorked at least one cross in three straight fixtures, totaling six (two accurate) and adding four shots (two on target) and four chances created, but he's still looking for his first goal contribution.

Quiet display in victory Malen had two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Sweden.

Impact Malen had a difficult first half in Saturday's 5-1 win over Sweden, contributing two crosses (one accurate) and creating one chance across 45 minutes as the right winger in coach Ronald Koeman's front three, but he was unable to impose himself on the match and failed to register a shot before being replaced at halftime by Crysencio Summerville. The forward struggled to produce the decisive moments his position demands despite the Netherlands' dominance, and Summerville's immediate impact, assisting Cody Gakpo's fourth goal within minutes of coming on before scoring the fifth himself, will intensify the debate surrounding the starting role on the right wing heading into the knockout rounds.

Active outing up front Malen registered two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Japan.

Impact Malen was persistent and direct in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan, registering two shots, both on target, and one cross across his 70 minutes as the center forward in coach Ronald Koeman's 4-3-3, with his best opportunity arriving in the third minute when he latched onto a pass and forced a strong save from the Japanese goalkeeper at his near post. The forward, who enjoyed a sensational finish to the season with Roma, has continued to struggle to replicate that level of form with the Netherlands and will need to raise his performances in the upcoming matches if he is to remain a key figure in Koeman's attacking setup.

Arrives in top form at World Cup Malen arrives at the 2026 World Cup as one of the Netherlands' most in-form attacking options, having earned his place in coach Ronald Koeman's squad with a stunning second half of...

Impact Malen joined Roma in the January transfer window and produced one of the most impressive half-season performances in Serie A, contributing 14 goals and two assists across 18 league appearances to finish as the second-highest scorer in the Italian top flight. The numbers are remarkable for a player who had only just arrived at a new club, and the confidence and sharpness he carries into the summer make him one of the most dangerous attacking options heading into the tournament. His direct running, clinical finishing and ability to create chances for himself in tight areas make him a genuine threat on the right flank. At international level, Malen represents one of the more exciting wildcards in manager Ronald Koeman's squad, with his blistering club form making it difficult to leave him out of the starting lineup despite the competition for wide positions. His ability to drift inside from the right flank and combine his finishing instinct with intelligent movement gives the Netherlands an unpredictable and dangerous option on that side of the attack. The Oranje will be among the favorites to go deep in a World Cup, and Malen's arrival in peak form at exactly the right moment makes him one of the more compelling attacking selections for the summer tournament.
