Just eight months ago, Donyell Malen was struggling to make a significant impact at Aston Villa.

Today, no player in Europe's top five leagues has scored more goals since his Roma debut on 18 January.

The Netherlands international has enjoyed a remarkable turnaround since joining Roma, transforming from a player who struggled to establish himself in the Premier League into one of the continent's most productive forwards.

Since his Roma debut, Malen has scored 20 goals, more than Harry Kane (16), Lamine Yamal (15) and anyone else in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 during the same period.
