Utd target would love Arsenal return
Borussia Dortmund frontman Donyell Malen explained his Premier League “beautiful dream” – with old club Arsenal top of his list.
The reported Manchester United and Liverpool target, 25, says leaving Gunners’ Under-17s was right at the time.
But he told Voetbal Zone: “I think because I played in England as a youth and then it is a dream to play in the Premier League, then I think that is a beautiful dream.
“I went to Arsenal so yes, them. I want Arsenal, my favourite club. Yes [about returning there]. I played there in my youth, I really wanted to break through there so yes.
“Every now and then in a football career there are points at which you just have to make a decision.
“Yes, I was training with the first team, and I was 17, 18 at the time and I did make steps in the optics, but I thought yes, I have to just play professional football.
“I also saw my teammates playing professional football while I was still playing youth football and I just knew (leaving) was the right thing to do.”
