Donyell Malen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Strikes crossbar late in match Malen had three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 win over Fulham.

Impact Malen entered as a substitute and nearly extended Aston Villa's lead, hitting the underside of the crossbar in stoppage time but also missing a one-on-one situation a bit earlier against Bernd Leno. His pace and movement posed challenges for Fulham's defense during his time on the pitch as he brought a big impact off the bench with three shots, a record for him in the Premier League. The Dutch forward will aim to bring impact again on Saturday against the Cherries.

Catching fire at right moment Malen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Southampton.

Impact Malen seems to be coming into form at the opportune time for Aston Villa. In Saturday's 3-0 victory over Southampton, Malen played 24 minutes. In that appearance, he scored one goal from his only shot, made one pass into the final third, and had two touches in the opposition's box. Malen has now scored in three straight games in all competitions for the club, and he will certainly be looking to make it four in a row against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in the UCL.
