When a footballer makes an impact this big, even the streets of Rome start talking. Donyell Malen, Roma's explosive striker, has done more than just score goals—he's become the muse for a stunning piece of street art that blends soccer with anime legend.
Since swapping Aston Villa for the Eternal City, Malen has been nothing short of sensational. In just 16 appearances across Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and Europa League, he's already bagged 13 goals. That kind of form made his permanent €25 million move from a six-month loan feel less like a decision and more like destiny.
Now, local artist Drugi has immortalized the Dutch forward in a way only Rome can: as a Dragon Ball Z character. The mural captures Malen mid-transformation into a Super Saiyan, a fitting tribute for a player who's been powering up the Giallorossi attack. Drugi, known for using Roma players as his canvas, shared the entire process on Instagram, showing the art coming to life on the city's walls.
From the pitch to the streets, Malen's Roma story is already legendary. And with art like this, it's clear the city is all in on their new hero.
