Donyell Malen’s stunning performance continues to impress.

The Dutch striker dominated the first half against Bologna, never missing a beat.

The 1999-born striker gave Roma the lead after seven minutes at the Dall’Ara, scoring his 11th Serie A goal for the Giallorossi.

The former Aston Villa player made a devastating impact in the Italian league. At the end of the first half, Malen rounded off his performance with a magnificent pass from the outside of his right foot for El Ayanoui, who simply had to tap in.

Donyell Malen continues to demonstrate his extraordinary qualities.

Speed, goal-scoring instincts, and top-notch technique make him an exceptional striker.

As Opta Paolo reports, since FIFA introduced the winter transfer window in 2001/02, only one player who arrived in Serie A in the winter transfer window has scored more goals than the Dutchman (11): Mario Balotelli (12, 2012-13).

Maxi Lopez had a similar impact in the 2009-10 season, scoring 11 goals, but the 1999-born player still has four more games to add to his tally. Roma will only need to invest €25 million to give him the keys to their attack for next season as well.
