According to Dutch publication Soccernews, Arsenal would be interested in bringing PSV starlet Donyell Malen back to the Emirates.

What's the word?

The Gunners first signed the striker back in the summer of 2015 from Eredivisie giants Ajax, when he was just 16. But after failing to make a single competitive appearance for the first-team, Malen made the move back to the Netherlands, joining PSV.

And it's with them where he has truly flourished as a regular starter, bagging 33 goals in 79 games. Now, Soccernews (via Sport Witness) have claimed that if Malen continues his form at PSV, then it will be inevitable that clubs will be lining up to sign him.

And among those who are mentioned, are Arsenal, with it being suggested that were the now 21-year-old made available, then they too would enter the race for his signature.

Fixing Wenger's mistake

Since leaving the Emirates in the summer of 2017 back when Arsene Wenger was still in charge, Malen has come on leaps and bounds at PSV. He's now a fully fledged international with the Netherlands, playing four times for the Oranje and scoring once.

An injury-hit campaign last season saw him still bag 17 goals across all competitions in just 25 games, whilst his start to the new one has been equally impressive, with five goals in eight matches.

If Malen is made available by PSV anytime soon, Edu simply has to make sure that Arsenal are in the race to sign him. With Alexandre Lacazette's contract coming to an end in the summer of 2022, he could be on his way out of the Emirates come the end of this season.

The Gunners could do with some firepower to either replace or add to the Frenchman, especially with Arteta employing star man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out wide. Once dubbed a "revelation" by super agent Mino Raiola, Edu could deliver a masterclass by bringing the £22.5m-rated Malen back home to north London.
