5 players who could save Arsenal's season

#4 Malcom

Malcom could be an Arsenal superstar for years to come

Another player apparently on Arsene Wenger’s potential shopping list is Brazilian forward Malcom, who currently plays in France’s Ligue One for Bordeaux. At just 20 years old and with the prime of his career ahead of him, the Brazilian would prove to be a timely signing, as he has plenty of experience for a young player having starred for Bordeaux for the past three seasons.

The sticking point appears to be Bordeaux’s willingness to sell – Malcom only signed a new deal with the French side in the summer and they’ve said he’s going nowhere, but of course, the kind of money Arsenal could offer may well be enough to make them change their mind. And looking at his style of play, he’d be a ready-made replacement for Sanchez – the kind of player who would excite the fans like few others.

Primarily operating from the right side of attack, his willingness to cut inside and shoot has allowed him to score some tremendous goals, and he’s already scored 7 and assisted in 5 in 18 Ligue One appearances this season – surpassing his statistics for last season. If Arsenal could sign him and he could continue that kind of form at the Emirates, Sanchez could be forgotten quickly – particularly if the Brazilian could save the Gunners’ season.
