Arsenal-fans allemaal pislink vanwege Donyell Malen

Donyell Malen kwam gisteren als invaller binnen de lijnen bij het Nederlands Elftal, en liet gelijk zijn voeten spreken. De PSV’er (20) speelde sterk, blonk uit en scoorde zelfs de cruciale 2-3. Veel fans van Arsenal keken met stijgende verbazing en vooral irritatie toe: hoe konden de Gunners hem zo makkelijk laten gaan!?

Een greep uit de reacties vanuit Londen:

Donyell Malen earned his first full cap from The Netherlands and scored in a win away in Germany.

Can only think were he developed under this new structure, maybe he’d have been given more of a chance.

Purely a hunch just feel, like Gnabry, it’s another one we let go too early.

Donyell Malen and Serge Gnabry both scored in the Germany – Netherlands game. Both could have been integral parts of the current Arsenal squad.

Serge Gnabry and now Donyell Malen. Is Arsenal the new Chelsea?

Arsenal sold those four for a combined ~£7.5m. A few years later Gnabry (Bayern), Reine-Adelaide (Lyon) & Bennacer (Milan) have moved for a combined ~£54m. Malen looks like he’ll command a good fee too when he makes a move.

I hear Malen has represented Arsenal at youth level right until 2017. How did they let such a promising youngster slip from their grasp?

Malen was sold by Arsenal and so went on to sign for Holland’s PSV Eindhoven in late August 2017. This surprising deal was to the dismay of several Arsenal fans of whom held great hopes for the Dutchman. pic.twitter.com/ischBzzB3r
