The 25-year-old played an integral part in helping the German club reach the Champions League final last season, scoring 15 goals and providing five assists in 38 matches across all competitions.
Malen, however, has struggled a bit this campaign, with five goals in 21 appearances, and he departs Signal Iduna Park with Dortmund eighth in the Bundesliga standings.
The Netherlands International, who has nine goals in 41 senior caps, joins Aston Villa, who are also eighth in the Premier League, four points off the top four, and fifth in the Champions League standings.
Unai Emery’s men are in Premier League action in the midweek round of games as they travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton, who begin life under David Moyes.
