The £25m player who possesses an attacking “flair” has a verbal agreement with him Aston Villa due to a move in the current transfer window, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
Aston Villa transfer news
There are many incoming and outgoing rumors surrounding the Villans at the moment, with Poor Philogene linked to a departure from the club in January. The 22-year-old has he managed only two starts in Premier League so far this season and talks are ongoing about a possible release in the coming weeks.
Dewa United wide man Taisei Marukawa is reportedly the new signing for Villa, giving Unai Emery added depth in attacking areas for the second half Premier League season.
In second place, the Celtic winger Nicholas Kuhn is another player backed to seal a move to Vila Park in the near future after becoming one of the most dangerous players in the Scottish Premiership. He has nine goals and six assists in the league for the Hoops this season, with his ability to get forward on the right and cut inside so he is difficult to defend against.
One high-profile transfer target for the Villans is the Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Asensiowho similarly takes the same point of view as Kuhn. Whether the team from the Midlands will be able to attract him to the club remains to be seen.
Aston Villa have a verbal agreement with the £25m ace
According to Jacobs at X, Aston Villa have a verbal agreement with Borussia Dortmund striker Donyella Malen. However, the club are yet to reach an agreement with the Bundesliga giants, who want £25 million for the Dutch striker.
Malen has the potential to be such an attractive signing for Villa, so this update is very encouraging as Emery looks for more attacking firepower in the final third.
The Dutchman has 59 goals (39 goals and 20 assists) in 131 appearances for Dortmund, which outlines his end product, not to mention he scored nine times in 41 games for the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the former coach of Dortmund Marco Rose also once praised his ability in 2021, saying:
“We’ve always said we’re confident in his abilities, but it’s always been clear to us that he needs time to adapt. He’s done that very well in the last few weeks. He’s playing with a lot more confidence, looking for the ball more, showing his flair and crossing the ball in front of the goal, now we have to work to make sure he can continue.”

At 25, Malen appears to be in a good place in his career, has plenty of experience but is also young enough to improve further, so Villa could sign a player with five or six years left in him at the highest level, at least.
