Gasperini Hails Donyell Malen as Roma’s ‘Ideal Striker’ Amidst Prolific Start
Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has effusively praised Donyell Malen, labelling him the “ideal striker” for his team following the Dutchman’s sensational start in Serie A. Since his January transfer from Aston Villa, Malen has scored five goals in just five appearances, including a brace against Napoli, matching a record set by Gabriel Batistuta in 2000.
Gasperini believes Malen’s presence has been transformative, suggesting an earlier arrival could have significantly boosted Roma’s league position, as they currently sit fourth.
