Chelsea offered chance to sign “unstoppable” European star to replace Broja at the last minute..but Decline
According to Simon Phillips’ Substack, Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Donyell Malen by his agent before the end of the transfer window. Phillips confirmed the news, saying: “I’ve been told tonight that Donyell Malen from Dortmund has been offered to Chelsea by his agent.”
The Dortmund star could even be an upgrade on Broja, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be in a position to pursue such a deal in the last few hours of the window.
The Blues’ need for attacking reinforcements remains a prominent problem for Pochettino, however, and Malen could more than play his part in that issue finally reaching a resolution.
“Unstoppable” Malen is better than Broja
However, Broja does complete his move away from Chelsea before the end of the window, but Chelsea turns Malen deal down. Not only would the Dutchman replace the young forward, but he’d also be an instant upgrade, as Malen’s stats show.
A player who showed great potential in the early stages of his career, Malen received praise from Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig, who called the forward “unstoppable”.
The fact that the Dutchman has reportedly been offered to Chelsea by his agent suggests that a move could be on the cards in the near future, whether that be today or in the summer transfer window. So, Malen is certainly one to keep an eye on in the coming months.
