About this episode

AS Roma aren’t slowing down! Hot on the heels of signing Robinio Vaz, the Giallorossi have bolstered their attack again by bringing in Dutch speedster Donyell Malen from Aston Villa. In this episode, we break down the clever £27 million "loan-to-buy" structure of the deal and why Malen’s technical skill and explosive pace make him a perfect fit for Serie A. We look back at his "Player of the Month" peak in the Premier League, his impressive 0.61 xG per 90 stats, and how his versatility could be the secret weapon Roma needs to secure a return to the Champions League. Is Malen the final piece of the puzzle for Roma’s silverware ambitions?
