Borussia Dortmund are deemed front-runners to sign PSV Eindhoven striker Donyell Malen this summer.

The German outfit are long-term admirers of the Dutchman, and they are prepared to step up their pursuit.

According to The Mirror, Dortmund are favourites to sign Malen, who bagged 27 goals and 10 assists for PSV last term.

Liverpool have also been linked with the Dutchman, but the striker favours a move to Bundesliga with Dortmund.

Dortmund have recently boosted their funds with the sale of Jadon Sancho to Manchester United for around £73 million.

They are likely to spend the money on multiple signings. Malen could join them from PSV for a reported fee of £30m.

The club are also looking at Malen's teammate Noni Madueke, who recently had his breakout season with PSV.

The teenager could be available for £20m. Dortmund will be optimistic of prising him away amid Premier League interest.

Leeds United and Crystal Palace have been linked. The former have been in regular contact with the player's representative.
