Liverpool 'lead the race for PSV Eindhoven's Donyell Malen'

Liverpool are reportedly leading the race for PSV Eindhoven forward Donyell Malen.

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for his Dutch club during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring 25 goals and contributing nine assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.

A number of clubs are believed to be tracking his progress, with Barcelona, AC Milan and Juventus among those to be credited with an interest in the Netherlands international.

However, according to Voetbal International, Liverpool are at the 'front of the queue' for the Dutchman, who is thought to be valued in the region of £25m by his current side.

Malen spent two years with Arsenal between 2015 and 2017 before leaving for PSV, and he has now scored 53 times in 112 appearances for the Red and Whites in all competitions.

The reigning Premier League champions are said to be keen to sign a new striker this summer due to their goal troubles in the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.
