Aston Villa have announced the signing of forward Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund.
The 25-year-old Netherlands international moves to the Premier League club for a fee of €23m (£19m) plus €3m (£2.5m) in add-ons.
Neither the fee involved nor Malen’s contract duration was confirmed by Villa.
Former Arsenal youth player Malen scored 13 goals for Dortmund in the Bundesliga last season and helped the German team reach the Champions League final.
He has a similar challenge at Villa Park, with Unai Emery’s side in contention to reach the latter stages of the Champions League.
-Malen has nine goals in 41 senior caps for the Netherlands and played at Euro 2024.
He joins a Villa side who sat eighth in the Premier League heading into the midweek round of fixtures, four points off the Champions League qualification places.
