Posted it on his thread in Other Football but he's technically on-loan so it's worth mentioning that Malen has scored 5 goals in his first 5 league games for Roma - first player to do that since Batistuta in 2000.

Fabrizio Romano says the loan fee was €2m and the obligation to buy is €25m in the summer. Roma qualifying for Europe (non-Conference cos it pays blose), and Malen appearing in 50% of the games from Jan to May triggers it.

He also says that we've retained a 10% sell-on clause.

I'm happy enough for Malen, he wasn't going to do it consistently at Premier League level in an Emery team. He definitely will score elsewhere as he is proving and he's a good player but sometimes you just have to do the deal at the right time.

Agree. £60 million for Watkins was exactly the deal we should have done last Jan, hey ho.

I don’t think that existed.

The Arse only went as high as £45m, didn't they?

I don't recall seeing anything above £40m which at the time was insulting.
