Roma have grown pessimistic about being able to bring in Joshua Zirkzee even later in the window and have set their sights on a different Premier League striker, Donyell Malen, who\u2019s having an up-and-down season, Sky<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n The forward has totaled 7 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances across all competitions. However, He hasn\u2019t scored since early December and has mostly been deployed as a sub in the past month or so. Therefore, he\u2019s considering departing to feature more consistently.<\/p>\n Roma and Aston Villa are in touch to finalize a loan with an \u20ac25\/30M option to buy for Malen should he give his green light. The two teams could also terminate the spell of Leon Bailey prematurely. He has spent more time on the shelf or on the pitch since joining last summer.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old Dutchman is in his second campaign in London and has hit the net 10 times in 46 appearances. He joined in a \u20ac30M move from Borussia Dortmund. He originally broke out with PSV and has racked up 49 caps and 13 goals with the Netherlands. The striker makes \u20ac8M gross yearly.<\/p>\n The capital club is eyeing a double swoop as they are in advances talks with Olympique Marseille for Robinio Vaz.<\/p>\n He\u2019s more of an alternative to Giacomo Raspadori than to Zirkzee, given his physique and characteristics. He\u2019d be an okay addition, as they are so hurt that any healthy body would help, but it wouldn\u2019t be great if they missed on both their primary targets, further irking Gian Piero Gasperini, even though it might happen for circumstances beyond their control in the Manchester United misfit\u2019s case.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Roma and Malen<\/h3>\n
