According to a report from Spanish publication Sport, Tottenham have already made contact with Barcelona over the possibility of signing Malcom this summer.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will undoubtedly be looking to bolster his ranks this summer, in an effort to make his team more competitive in the Premier League next term.

Tottenham unquestionably need more quality in the attacking department, and Malcom could be just the ticket.

The Brazilian has struggled since joining Barcelona from Bordeaux in the summer of 2018, racking up just four goals and two assists in 23 appearances in all competitions, but it could be argued that he hasn’t been given ample opportunity to shine.

And Sport suggest that Tottenham are leading the race to prise the 22-year-old away from the Camp Nou.

Malcom during the match between FC Barcelona and SD Huesca, corresponding to the week 3 of the Liga Santander, played at the Camp Nou, on 02th september 2018, in Barcelona, Spain.

The Spanish media outlet claims that Malcom is available for around €40 million (£35 million) this summer, and in today’s day and age, that might just be considered as a real bargain for Spurs.

Tottenham will face competition from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal for his signature, however, according to Sport.
