Donyell Malen

What I like about him is his desire to get a shot off. It may not always be the best option but he really does have a go.

And that's something we really lack otherwise.

Strong on the ball too and direct.

I like the look of him. He looks a massive upgrade  on philiogene

Stocky, Very quick and a low centre of gravity makes him very difficult to defend against.

Looking forward for the opportunity he gets where he is in a direct foot race with the defender

Probably needs a goal to get him properly up and running (though he scored a perfectly good one at Wolves).

Dortmund fans say he scores in streaks so when he does get one, hopefully it soon brings more.

Hard to tell so far. Looks dynamic but i hope he's not headless chickeny.

[Dante Lavelli]

Looks more like a striker to me but seemingly handy on the wing too.  Looks a very solid adddition.

[Smithy]

He seems very rapid over that first five-ten yards, which is going to be very important as we play the ball about against a team sitting in.  Quick give and goes where you're confident you can get to the ball before a turning defender will be a valuable asset.

thread brought forward in anticipation

I’d forecast Donny Van Malen starts this evening.
Could expect him to play the whole game
one of the main reasons being he’s not in the champions league squad

I wonder though if he starts at 9 or wide.
Couple of goals perfectly feasible for him given the opponents

I think he will start and score tonight. As a 9. I really like the look of him

I read on Reddit that he's ill so likely to miss the game tonight

[Drummond]

I hope he's better, because according to Emery he has been ill this week.
