Aston Villa are in talks with Borussia Dortmund over a move for Netherlands striker Donyell Malen.
Negotiations between the two clubs continue after Villa's opening £15million plus bonuses offer fell short of the £25m fee the Bundesliga outfit are looking to receive.
This week, Mail Sport revealed that Unai Emery's side had rekindled their interest in 25-year-old.
Malen can play across the front line, predominantly on the right wing, and would give Villa extra pace plus depth and quality for Emery in attacking positions.
The Netherlands international has 18 months remaining on his contract at the Westfalenstadion.
