“Donyell Malen named Bundesliga Player of the Month for April 2023”

Malen is already the fourth player The Borussia in a row who plays the honorary title. Julian Brandt (January and February) and Raphaël Guerreiro (March) preceded him. The former PSV player has been unstoppable in recent weeks. In April, he scored five goals and an assist in five games. No other Bundesliga player could match those numbers. In total, Malen now scored nine times and was the declarant five times in 24 appearances.

With his election, Malen trumps compatriot Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen), among others. Benjamin Pavard (Bayern Munich), Josha Vagnoman (VfB Stuttgart), Moussa Diaby (Leverkusen) and Timo Werner (RB Leipzig) were also in the race.

Incidentally, Malen also seems to want to take a shot at the honorary title this month. In the last two games, he scored twice and provided two assists. The 24-year-old attacker is working hard to meet expectations after a difficult start. He came over from PSV two seasons ago for thirty million euros. He still has a contract with Dortmund until mid-2026.

National coach Ronald Koeman recently concluded that Malen can solve the problem on the right winger in Orange.
