Former Ajax chief David Endt isn't surprised seeing Donyell Malen settle quickly at Roma.

Malen left Aston Villa for the Giallorossi last week and struck on debut in Sunday's win at Torino.

Endt told TMW: "In (Gian Piero) Gasperini's Roma, someone like Malen can make the difference, we saw that right away.

"He's a great addition to the Giallorossi's fight at the top, a versatile striker with technique, goals, and personality.

"He'll be entertaining in Serie A."

Meanwhile, after his goalscoring - and winning - debut, Malen said last night: "We played well, then a nice assist.

"Is it nice to play with Dybala? Yeah, nice (laughs)."

Along with Malen, Paulo Dybala also struck in the 2-0 win in Turin.
