Besides breaking into the Dutch side in his first major tournament with his country and marvelling us with a pair of assists, Malen has been banging in goals in the Dutch Eredivisie for PSV Eindhoven.

Malen has reached double figures in the past three seasons for PSV, his lat being his best return so far with 19 goals and eight assists in 32 appearances. Adding to this, Arsenal were his former employees having sold him to his current owners, PSV, back in 2017.

He spent two years at the Emirates and was unable to break into the first team under ex-Gunner great, Arsene Wenger. Now he is one of the most coveted players at the European Championships.

Liverpool face competition from Borussia Dortmund to sign Donyell Malen

With the Reds transfer listing a few first-team players to raise funds for new signings, meeting the asking price for the 22-year-old will not be a problem.

Although, they will face difficulties in trying to sign him over other potential suitors. Borussia Dortmund, ahead of Liverpool, were in talks with PSV Eindhoven and Malen’s entourage as their search for a Jadon Sancho replacement, who is Manchester bound this summer.

This is where experts believe Liverpool will lose out on landing the youngster, as talks are said to have gone quite smoothly between the German and Dutch clubs.
