PSV Eindhoven midfielder Donyell Malen admits he still bristles over criticism from his time at Arsenal.

Malen was branded overweight by former Arsenal youth chief Andries Jonker, now in charge of Telstar, during his time with the Gunners.

"I heard him say that I came in too fat. That surprised me," Malen recalls to AD.

"They had been working at Arsenal for two months when I came. Then of course you are not immediately at the same level.

"I was not fit yet, but too fat? No."
