Last season, AS Roma and Donyell Malen proved to be a match made in heaven.The Dutchman, who had been struggling to find the right club for some time, joined the Giallorossi on loan from Aston Villa, and even their most optimistic supporters didn’t have high expectations of him.After all, he scored only 10 goals in 45 games for the Villans and hardly posed a threat to opposing defences.Roma eye two African wingersHowever, once he arrived at Stadio Olimpico, everything changed dramatically. Malen suddenly turned into a “monster” and the most lethal striker in Italy, scoring 15 goals in 20 appearances for Roma and convincing the club’s board to trigger the option to buy and sign him permanently from Aston Villa for €25 million.Considering today’s football fees, this amount was a genuine bargain. And after the start of the new campaign, it’s crystal clear – Roma got Malen on the cheap.In the opening two Serie A games, the 27-year-old has scored FIVE goals, and aims to continue his ruthles..

That’s football.Ever since its creation, it has been supposed to unite. Even when it seems impossible – or rather, just when it seems impossible.The recently concluded June Transfer Window gave us a couple of good examples of sworn enemies joining forces.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The first is Bruno Guimaraes’ move to Arsenal and his newly formed partnership with Declan Rice. The two often found themselves at odds in the past, when the Brazilian was a Newcastle player, but now, they appear to function very well together.The other could come today, with Enzo Maresca potentially pairing up Enzo Fernandez and Elliot Anderson in Manchester City’s midfield against Coventry City (17.00).At first, it’s hard to remember the two ever having a scuffle or confrontation during their spells at Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, respectively, and, truth be told, their Premier League duels never saw any sparks fly.However, once the international aspect comes into the picture, the impression instantly changes.Well..
