Former England international Paul Robinson is backing PSV Eindhoven’s Donyell Malen to be a huge hit if he makes the move to the Premier League.
The former Arsenal academy player has been heavily linked with both Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund this summer but Robinson says that other teams will also be keeping tabs on the 22-year-old:
“Malen is a player that I really like. He can play across the front line and is a real threat. He can score and create goals. At just 22 years old, I expect there to be a lot of clubs after him this summer. The Premier League is a very attractive proposition for players. His style of play would suit one of the high press, attacking teams in the Premier League.”
Malen scored 27 goals in all competitions for PSV last season and, as Robinson mentions, the striker also performed well for the Netherlands at the European Championships.
With reports suggesting that he could be available for as little as £25m, he certainly seems like the sort of player that Liverpool would be looking to recruit.
The Reds are said to be looking at bringing in a forward but it is believed Leicester’s Harvey Barnes, Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Wolves’ Pedro Neto are all higher up on their list of priorities than Malen. Whether that will change in the coming weeks, we shall have to wait and see.
