Donyell Malen
26-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
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.
Nets two in win
Malen scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Burnley.
ANALYSIS
Malen picked up his second start in seven league appearances and made the most of the opportunity by netting his first two goals of the campaign. His three shots and two on target both marked season highs. He also set a new season high with two chances created.
