Key strength: Pace and dribbling
Wide creator
In the Eternal City, where passion for football runs as deep as the Tiber, Donyell Malen has quietly established himself as AS Roma's attacking spark. The 26-year-old Dutch centre-forward has found the net 12 times this season across 34 appearances—a prolific return that anchors a Roma side navigating choppy waters in 6th place with patchy WDWLW form. Valued at €28 million, Malen operates as a wide creator, using his 70-rated shooting and 68-rated dribbling to devastating effect against packed Serie A defenses. His 1,497 minutes on the pitch reflect the trust placed in him by the coaching staff, while his partnership with midfield dynamo Manu Koné and defensive anchor Evan Ndicka offers Roma a foundation to build European qualification dreams. With 2 assists complementing his goal tally, Malen's pace and technical ability provide the cutting edge Roma desperately need—making every strike feel like a step toward restoring Giallorossi glory.
