This week, Mail Sport revealed that Unai Emery's side had rekindled their interest in 25-year-old. The improved bid from the Champions League surprise package are looking to bring Malen to the club in a bid to continue their quest to finish in the top four for the second consecutive season.

Malen can play across the front line, predominantly on the right wing, and would give Villa extra pace plus depth and quality for Emery in attacking positions. The Netherlands international has 18 months remaining on his contract at the Westfalenstadion and Dortmund could be willing to sell in January to avoid him leaving for free.
