Donyell Malen
27-Year-Old
Roma
Serie A
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Malen joined Villa midway through the 2024/25 season and showed glimpses of his explosive pace and ability to beat defenders. He didn't fully settle into the starting XI, but his upside remains clear in counter-attacking situations. With a full preseason to integrate, Malen could be a game changer in 2025/26. If he earns regular starts, he has the tools to hit double-digit goals and become a central figure in Villa's front three. His direct style and ability to stretch defenses gives them a different dimension in attack compared to their other forwards.
Fires three shots versus Lecce
Malen registered three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) and committed one foul in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Lecce.
ANALYSIS
Malen co-led his team in attempts along with Bryan Cristante, but wasn't as surgical as in previous matches and didn't pick up stats in other areas. He has taken multiple shots in all 12 appearances since moving to Roma, racking up 49 attempts (17 on target), scoring eight times and posting four key passes and four inaccurate crosses.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Roma loan
Malen is set to join AS Roma on loan before the end of the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports Italy.
ANALYSIS
Malen was one of the best forwards in the Bundesliga during this time with Borussia Dortmund, but the Dutchman has struggled to adjust to life at Villa Park. A loan move would be the best scenario to relaunch his career, and it'd also give him a boost to secure a spot in the Netherlands' squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Roma are keen on adding a forward, and after dismissing a move for Joshua Zirkzee, it seems they're set to complete a move for another Dutchman.
