€60m Arsenal, Man Utd target Malcom fuels speculation over Jan move

Bordeaux star Malcom has fuelled speculation he is heading to the Premier League after revealing he is learning English.

The 20-year-old winger yesterday posted a picture to his Instagram account in which he showed that he was taking English lessons, before later removing the post.

Malcom has been flying in Ligue 1 this season, scoring seven goals and adding four assists to attract interest from Arsenal and Manchester United. 

United apparently scouted Malcom in Bordeaux’s 1-1 draw with Marseille, according to La Provence, while Goal reported around Christmas that the player was very much liked by Jose Mourinho.

Arsenal are also believed to be keen on Malcom and according to Brazilian journalist Bruno Andrade, the Gunners are in talks to sign the player.

“I posted last week that Arsenal came into the fray for former Corinthians [player] Malcom,” he tweeted. “Today I hear that the conversations are progressing well.”

Bordeaux are believed to be wanting €60million for the Brazil Under-23 star.
