Tottenham Hotspur are long-term admirers of the Bordeaux winger, according to reports.
Tottenham target Malcom’s agent Fernando Garcia sat down for an exclusive interview with Italian media outlet FC Inter 1908, and left the door open for the north London outfit to make a late swoop for his client by insisting that Inter and Bordeux are still yet to agree on a price for the Brazilian.
Spurs have been long-term admirers of the Bordeaux winger, according to a report from the Sun, but their hopes of signing him appeared to be dashed in recent weeks, with various media outlets claiming that he was on the verge of joining Inter Milan.
The 21-year-old’s agent insisted that a deal to take his client to Inter Milan is far from done, with both a fee and personal terms still yet to be agreed between the French and Italian clubs.

Fernando Garcia told FC Inter 1908:
“The two clubs, Inter and Bordeaux, still need to reach an agreement. Until the two clubs agree terms, we cannot agree personal terms for the player. It’s up to the clubs first.”
Mauricio Pochettino undoubtedly needs to add further quality to his attacking ranks at Tottenham, with more competition required in the wide areas for the likes of Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son.
And following Garcia’s comments, Malcom could still be very much on Spurs’ radar this summer.
