Donyell Malen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Scores brace in Sunday's draw Malen scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Malen scored both of his side's goals in Sunday's draw, his second consecutive match with a pair of goals. He opened up the scoring in the 7th minute with a strike assisted by Bryan Zaragoza, then took the lead in the 71st minute with a penalty. He now has five goals through five Serie A matches since joining Roma on loan, an unbelievable start to his career in Italy's capital. He was subbed off for Robinio Vaz right after scoring his penalty.

Scores brace in victory Malen scored two goals to go with seven shots (two on goal) in Monday's 2-0 win versus Cagliari.

Impact Malen broke the deadlock in the 25th minute, timing his run perfectly to latch onto Gianluca Mancini's through ball before calmly lifting the finish over Elia Caprile. He struck again shortly after the hour, reacting quickest to Zeki Celik's driven cross to poke home from point-blank range. The brace powered the Gialorossi to a composed 2-0 victory and earned him man-of-the-match honors. Malen is already up to three goals with 22 shots (eight on target) through his first four Serie A appearances, showing little need for an adjustment period at his new club.

Four shots in loss Malen registered four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 loss versus Udinese.

Impact Malen's touch on Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's 49th minute free kick altered the ball's flight just enough to beat Mile Svilar and settle the match. He also produced Roma's clearest chance of the first half, but his right footed effort from the center of the box was pushed away low by Maduka Okoye. He continued to make aggressive runs in behind the back line, though Udinese stayed compact and cut off clean service late. Malen has made an immediate impact in his first three appearances with the Giallorossi, registering 15 shots (six on target) along with one goal. There is little doubt that if the Dutchman sharpens his finishing, his goal output could take a clear step forward in the second half of the season for the Lupa.

Seven shots in Sunday's draw Malen generated seven shots (three on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Malen made his second straight start since joining Roma in the transfer window and once again made a massive impact on the attack. He recorded a season-high seven shots and put three of them on target, providing a constant threat to Milan's defense. With a goal and 11 shots (five on target) through two appearances with his new club, it appears that Malen is fitting right in with Roma.

Offensive force in start Malen scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Torino.

Impact Malen made the most of his start, putting half of his shots on target and coming away with a goal. He'll be called upon to do similar damage against a Stuttgart side which has been leaky domestically but has stiffened a bit in UEL play with only five goals allowed in six matches.

Moves to Roma Malen has joined Roma on a season-long loan with an option to buy from Aston Villa.

Impact Malen has been a regular and has appeared 27 times across all competitions, but he started just three times in the last nine games, going scoreless and providing one assist. He'll rival primarily Artem Dovbyk (thigh), Evan Ferguson (hip) and Paulo Dybala at Roma and should get minutes right away since two of them are hurt. He has scored seven times and fired 38 shots (17 on target) so far.

Scores goal off bench Malen scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Brighton.

Impact Malen came off the bench and needed barely a minute to make his mark, arriving in the six-yard box in the 78th minute to score home after Bart Verbruggen had saved Evann Guessand's close-range header. The finish, officially his first touch, gave Villa a two-goal lead at a moment when Brighton were pressing. He continued to stretch the home defense with runs between the lines and into the left channel, forcing Brighton's backline to drop deeper. Malen started only half of his last six appearances but is in excellent form, contributing 21 shots in that span, scoring five goals and providing one assist.

Aston Villa vs Burnley: Donyell Malen scores again to double Villa's lead! Donyell Malen scored his second of the game to double Aston Villas lead in their Premier League clash with Burnley.

OCTOBER 5, 2025 • SKY.COM

Limited minutes in debut season Malen started in two of his 14 appearances while scoring three goals on 15 shots in the Premier League.

Impact Malen had a rough stretch after joining Aston Villa, with the forward struggling to earn much time after the move from Dortmund. He would only earn a pair of starts while notching just under 300 minutes of play, although he was able to bag three goals still. The forward was a sparkplug for Dortmund before his transfer and is expected to be a similar player for Villa, hopeful to see his role grow a bit more next season and possibly capture a few more starts if he is in form, although his rotational role seems more likely to stick.
