Tottenham Hotspur face missing out on Malcom to Everton.

Everton are on the verge of beating Tottenham Hotspur to the signing of Malcom, report SkySports.

Spurs attempted to sign Malcom in the January transfer window, UOL Esporte reported.

Even just last week Le10Sport reported Tottenham had rejoined the race for Malcom, making contact with Bordeaux and his representatives.

Now Everton are on course to pip them to the Brazilian’s signature, and also see off challengers from Serie A.

Tottenham are yet to make a single transfer so far this window, with less than a month remaining before the season kicks off.

Everton have had a more low profile window than last year too, but have managed to clear Wayne Rooney’s wages off their books by moving him onto DC United.

The Toffees appointed Dutchman Marcel Brands as new director of football to oversee transfers for new boss Marco Silva and Malcom would be their biggest statement so far.

Some Tottenham fans are not happy with their club missing out on another target, with chairman Daniel Levy attracting criticism.
