PSV complete deal for Arsenal forward

Cape Town - PSV Eindhoven have announced the signing of teenage forward Donyell Malen from English Premier League side Arsenal.

Malen, 18, joins the Dutch giants on a three-year deal and returns to his native country after three years with the Gunners.

The former Ajax Amsterdam youngster failed to make his first-team debut but was included in the Gunners pre-season squad this season.

Nonetheless, the lure of potential first-team action has attracted the Netherlands youth international back to his country of birth.

"Malen is highly regarded in London as a talented forward who can play as a striker or as a winger," read a statement on PSV's official website. "He represented the Netherlands at U15, U16, U17 and U18 level.

"He is currently in Finland to compete in a four-nation tournament with the Netherlands U19 squad, along with his new PSV team mates Justin Lonwijk, Mike van de Meulenhof, Armando Obispo, Jordan Teze and Joël Piroe."

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
