Villa’s offer of £21m was below Dortmund’s £25m valuation. Malen, who can play across the front line, would provide Villa with pace and depth. He has experience in European football, including the Champions League and Europa League. Villa’s first-choice target to replace Jaden Philogene, Malen is expected to cost around £20m plus add-ons.
