Roma is preparing for the final sprint of the season, aiming to secure a spot in next season’s European competitions.

In this crucial phase, one of the players coach Gian Piero Gasperini will be counting on most is Donyell Malen, who continues to deliver extraordinary performances.

The striker, who arrived at Roma with high expectations, immediately demonstrated his worth, scoring 12 goals and assists in both the league and the cup.

His performances have been so brilliant that Serie A has named him a candidate for April’s Player of the Month, alongside Parma’s Elphege, Cagliari’s Esposito, Atalanta’s Krstović, Lazio’s Taylor, and Inter’s Thuram.

Over the past month, Malen has stood out in particular for scoring a hat-trick against Pisa, his first for the Giallorossi.

Before the Dutchman, the last player to score three goals in a single Serie A game was Kean in November 2004.

Furthermore, Malen has already won the Player of the Month award for February. If he wins, this would be his second.
