Playing style
Malen operates as a sharp, direct threat from the inside-forward role, favoring precision over flash. He reads space well in the box, times his runs to arrive in shooting positions, and executes with a shooter's economy of movement. His game is built on positioning intelligence and clinical conversion rather than dribble-heavy creation.
