Donyell Malen At Arsenal
Malen started grabbing headlines with his brilliant performances for Ajax at the youth level catching the eyes of a number of English scouts. He joined Premier League club Arsenal’s youth system in 2015 after months of speculations surrounding his future.
A move to Arsenal meant further development of a young bright prospect. Malen understood very quickly that Premier League has a very fast pace and rough football on top of that. He only made one senior debut for the Gunners in a pre-season game against Sydney.
Return to Eredivisie club PSV, goals and achievements
In 2017, Malen was sold to Eredivisie club PSV where he played for the reserve team Jong PSV and became the top scorer of the team in his first season in the Eerste Divisie which is the second division of Dutch Football.
As a result, he was promoted into the first team the following season and as his career progressed, he became a crucial part of the team featuring in 116 games finding the net 55 times during his tenure of 5-years with the club.
In conclusion, Dortmund have got their hands on a very talented young winger who can really step up into the first team and provide that pace upfront.
What could this mean for Chelsea who are in the pursuit of Erling Haaland?
Premier League club Chelsea are desperately negotiating with Borussia Dortmund for a possible transfer of Norwegian forward Erling Haaland who is currently the best young striker in the world and is destined to achieve greatness.
If Chelsea can get their hands on Erling Haaland, it would be a blockbuster deal and one of the biggest transfers of this window. However, the arrival of Donyell Malen could mean that Dortmund will be ready to give up its treasure chest.
Dortmund’s representatives have come out and said multiple times that Haaland will not be sold this summer no matter how tempting the offer is. It is just reverse psychology as they know if they don’t sell him this summer, next year, his release clause will be €75 million.
