Arsenal are one of a long list of clubs interested in signing PSV forward Donyell Malen, according to the Mirror. The Gunners let the Dutchman leave only two years ago but it is now believed that he could be worth as much as £50m.
Liverpool are also said to be among the teams monitoring the player’s development. He was sold by Arsenal for just £500,000 in 2017, and fans on Twitter think it is very unlikely that the London club would offer 100 times that figure to get him back:

Malen has certainly excelled since he has left the Emirates. The 20-year-old has scored ten goals and provided four assists in 13 appearances so far this season, and he was given his first senior cap for the Netherlands earlier this month.
He actually scored a crucial goal on his debut, putting the Dutch 3-2 up in the win over Germany in a Euro 2020 qualifier, after coming on as a substitute.
