According to the UK media, Arsenal are closing in on a move for Ajax striker Donyell Malen.
Barcelona were thought to be monitoring the talented young striker, but it appears that Arsenal’s close ties with Ajax have proven decisive. Former Gunner, Dennis Bergkamp, the assistant to Ajax manager will have helped the Gunners to secure pole position.
Malen, represented by super agent, Mino Raiola is considered a future star in Holland and will now sign a scholarship contract with Arsenal.
Previously, the Dutch media reported Arsenal’s interest in the striker and claimed that he should stay at Ajax and continue his development.
