Dortmund are currently demanding a fee closer to £21million and negotiღat🉐ions continue, added Thomas.
What has been said about Malen’s qualities and talents amid Villa and Tottenham links
Villa certainly seem to be well ahead of Tottenham in the rac🐭e for Malen.

Whoeve♍r signs Malen would be getting themselves a player in his prime who teammate Mario Gomez has deemed “extremely fast and very꧒ dangerous”.
The , which carried Gomez’s quotes, also compared Malen to ෴Chelsea and Belgium icon Eden Hꩵazard.
‘Malen is almost the com🐟plete package when you think of a modern-day forward,♛’ they wrote of the versatile forward.
‘Malen combines his incredible speedಌ and technical ability on the ball with an eye for goal and aptitude for defensive work, which have endeared him to the Dortmund faithful.
‘Standing at 5’8″, Malen is no big man up front, but 💛rather a forward who prefers to run in behind to get defenders chasing him, or come short to link up with players around him.
‘In that sense he is reminiscenꦑt of Chelsea great Eden Hazard, whose squat dribbling style and long-range shooting made him 💮a nightmare for defenders.’
