Borussia Dortmund ace Donyell Malen: I'd re-sign with Arsenal

Borussia Dortmund ace Donyell Malen has opened the door to returning to Arsenal.

The Dutchman spent time as a teen with the Gunners.

He told Voetbalzone: "I think that, because I played in England when I was young, it is a dream for me to play in the Premier League. A beautiful dream.

"Yes, I would like to return to Arsenal. As a teenager I wanted Arsenal, my favourite club, and even today I would choose it. I played there when I was young, I really wanted to make it.

"I was training with the first team, I was 17-18 years old at the time and I felt I was in the right direction. But I also thought I should play in the professional leagues. Also because I saw my teammates go away to play with the grown-ups, while I was still part of youth football.

"So I knew leaving was the right thing to do."
