Video: Malen inspiration for Dragon Ball Z art

Roma striker Donyell Malen has inspired an artist in the Eternal City to depict him as a Dragon Ball Z character after his move from Aston Villa.

The centre-forward has made an extraordinary impact in the Giallorossi jersey, scoring 13 goals in just 16 games between Serie A, the Coppa Italia and Europa League.

It made his purchase for €25m at the end of a six-month loan spell absolutely inevitable, and his performances inspired an intriguing tribute in the streets of Rome.

Artist Drugi has long used Roma players and coaches as his muses, and Malen is no different, depicted as a character from Dragon Ball Z transforming into the Super Saiyan.

Drugi showed the process off on his official Instagram page with a video of the art being applied to the walls of the Italian Capital.
