Just days after completing his £21m switch from Borussia Dortmund to Aston Villa, Donyell Malen could be in line to make his Premier League debut against his former club Arsenal, live on Sky Sports.
With Jaden Philogene's return to Villa Park lasting just six months and Leon Bailey failing to recapture his scintillating form from last season - which saw him net 10 goals and add nine assists in the top-flight - it was clear Unai Emery needed reinforcements.
Villa's interest in Malen has been long standing but just over two weeks into the winter window, they had their man.
Malen now returns to England eight years after leaving the Arsenal academy to join PSV Eindhoven in 2017 - and might just have a point to prove when the two sides meet on Saturday Night Football.
