#3 Arsenal rival Spurs to sign Malcom

Malcom

Malcom has had a terrible season so far, and is all set to move from the club, despite his manager giving him the benefit of doubt and rejecting claims of him moving away from the club.

"Of course he (Malcom) wants to play games and score goals and that is what I want from him, He is a player who has a place here at the club. He's a part of the squad like any other player. He's got certain qualities that we want to see on the pitch. He is a great player, we want to see him be a decisive player," said Valverde about Malcom in his press conference ahead of the Leganes game.

English club Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for Malcom, to replace the injured Harry Kane, and Son, who is representing South Korea in the Asian Games. It has now emerged that Spurs' North London rivals, Arsenal, have also joined in the race to sign the Brazilian, as per Mundo Deportivo.

Arsenal wants to bring him on loan to the Emirates, but Barcelona wants to only sell him on a transfer and not loan him out, in the January transfer window.
