• Chelsea want £20m-plus for Dortmund loan target Veiga
• West Ham add Forest’s Awoniyi to list of striker targets

Aston Villa have struck a deal with Borussia Dortmund to sign Donyell Malen in a package worth an initial £20m. Unai Emery is poised to make the Dutchman, a longtime target, his first signing of the year.

Emery admires forwards who can play across several positions and Malen, who has won 41 caps for the Netherlands, will bolster his front line, which features Ollie Watkins, Jhon Durán, Morgan Rogers and Leon Bailey. Malen has scored five goals in 21 matches for Dortmund this season.
