Donyell Malen has made an instant impact in his Roma debut, leaving coach Gian Piero Gasperini wondering who on earth Roma have just signed. The Dutch striker's impressive performance against Torino saw him score a goal and create another, showcasing his versatility and understanding with teammate Paulo Dybala.
Gasperini views Malen as a true No 9, someone who can play from the wing but is best suited up front. He has praised Malen's ability to hold up the ball and draw defenders in, creating space for his teammates to make runs behind them.
Malen himself seems to have made an immediate connection with Dybala, who also starred in the Roma victory. The Argentine striker noted that it was "easy to play with Paulo" after providing Malen with the assist that led to his second goal of the game.
The signing of Malen is a significant coup for Gasperini, who views him as a low-risk gamble. Roma's decision to sign him on loan, with an obligation to buy for €25m if they qualify for Europe or play a certain number of minutes, has been praised by the coach and fans alike.
However, the question remains as to how Malen came to be at Roma in the first place. Was it just luck that he was available, or did Gasperini have his sights set on him from the start? Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: Malen has already made a big impact at the Stadio Olimpico and could prove to be a key player for the Giallorossi in the coming months.
Roma's struggles this season, particularly with scoring goals, have been well-documented. The team has won more games than any other side in Serie A except Inter, but when they don't take all three points, they often get none. With Malen on board, Gasperini may finally have the solution to their goal-scoring woes.
But it's not just about Malen; Dybala's performances also suggest that Roma are heading in the right direction. The Argentine striker's calm and composed display was a reminder of his quality, and he seems to be hitting form at the right time.
The Europa League is still within reach for Roma, but they'll need to maintain their momentum if they want to secure a spot. With Malen and Dybala leading the charge, Gasperini will be hoping that his team can finally find consistency and see them through to the end of the season.

he's literally making waves at Roma and gasperini is so lucky to have him 
I mean, the guy's a natural goal scorer and his chemistry with dybala is instant 
we all know roma's had scoring issues this season, but i think malen might just be the answer to their prayers 
if they can keep him on loan it'll be a huge coup for gasperini and the fans 
I'm so stoked for Roma fans right now! It's been ages since we've seen some serious scoring power, and with Malen on board, it feels like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders 
. The chemistry between him and Dybala is undeniable - they just seem to click on the pitch 
. It's gonna be so much fun to watch them take on the rest of Serie A together! Fingers crossed Roma can keep up this momentum and make a push for Europe 
.
. gasperini's gamble on malen is like a reminder that sometimes you gotta take a risk to get something real out of life. and what's interesting is how malen and dybala are starting to gel as a team... it's like they're speaking the same language, you know? but the question remains, can this momentum carry them through? or will the pressure eventually show? 
! Donyell Malen is like a breath of fresh air - his versatility is so exciting 
. I mean, who needs a traditional No 9 when you have someone who can do it all? It's like having a Swiss Army knife on the pitch 
. And with Paulo Dybala back to form, their partnership is looking unstoppable 
. Fingers crossed for the Giallorossi! 
. But, I do think we need to wait and see how he holds up over a longer period of time 
. One loan deal with an obligation to buy isn't ideal, but at least it shows Roma are willing to take a risk on him 
. The real question is, what made the coaching staff decide to sign him in the first place? Was it just a lucky find or did they have their sights set on him from the start? 
.
Donyell Malen is literally a godsend... I mean, who wouldn't want a striker who scores goals and creates chances like that? 
and Paulo Dybala seems to be fitting in really well with him, their chemistry on the pitch is undeniable 
it's amazing how much of a difference one signing can make for a team, especially when they're struggling with scoring goals like Roma have been. fingers crossed that this newfound momentum carries them through to the end of the season 
, think gasperini might have made a solid move 
, dybala's back in form too, maybe roma can finally score some goals regularly 
. We ended up driving past this adorable little town with the most amazing ice cream shop 
. I mean, have you ever had a scoop of their pistachio ice cream with honey? It's like a taste explosion in your mouth 
, to make a move on the World Cup playoffs. Fingers crossed they can get it together this year 
I'm loving what I've seen from Donyell Malen so far! He's like a breath of fresh air for Roma 
. I mean, who in their right mind thinks Donyell Malen is available on loan? 
One minute you're struggling to score goals, the next you've signed a top striker and suddenly everything's clicking. I'm not saying it can't work out, but coach Gasperini must have some serious luck charm 
. On the other hand, if anyone could make it happen it's Dybala - he's been playing so well lately 
.
I MEAN, GASPERINI WAS A BIT Skeptical WHEN ROME Signed HIM, BUT NOW HE'S PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE A TOP CLASS FORWARD. AND THAT SIGNING ON LOAN WITH AN OBLIGATION TO BUY IS GENIUS! 
. I mean, who would've thought Roma would sign him on loan? It's like they snatched him from under another team's nose! 
. Now I'm not saying Roma will suddenly become the dominant force they used to be, but with Malen and Dybala leading the charge, we might just see them surprise us all season long 
, it's like they're meant to be on the pitch together. Gasperini was smart to sign him on loan, it's a win-win for both the club and Malen himself. And €25m is a steal if they qualify for Europe or hit those minutes! 
I'm intrigued to see how Malen fits into the team's strategy, but one thing's for sure - Roma just got a whole lot more exciting 
.
