Moderator: Iain, Donyell Malen is a name generating a lot of excitement. What are your initial thoughts on his potential move to Aston Villa?
Iain Dowie: Well, I think it’s a fantastic move for both parties, to be honest. Malen is a proven goalscorer with bags of pace and a hunger to succeed.Villa are clearly building something special under Dean Smith, and adding a player of Malen’s calibre could really propel them forward.

Iain Dowie: I believe so. He’s got the talent and the mindset to do it. The premier League is obviously a step up, but Villa have a good system in place, and I can see Malen thriving in their attack.

Moderator: Villa already had a decent season, finishing 11th. Do you think Malen’s arrival could see them become genuine contenders for European football next season?
Iain Dowie: Absolutely. This signing would send a real message of intent.malen is a game-changer, and with his addition, villa could definitely challenge for a top-eight finish.
