Tottenham are reported to be still keen on signing Malcom.
Tottenham Hotspur are claimed to be keen on signing Brazilian ace Malcom after his slow start at Barcelona, Sport report.
Malcom is unhappy after failing to get a regular place in the starting line up following his summer switch from Bordeaux.
If he continues to sit out La Liga games then Tottenham may well fancy their chances of a shock January deal.
A potential move may only be reactive to Barcelona’s eventual actions over Ousmane Dembele.
The Mail report Barcelona are open to offers for Ousmane Dembele, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all claimed to be interested.
Dembele would surely be high on Tottenham’s list too, if it were not for their tight financial situation.
He signed for Barcelona for a deal reaching £135.5 million in 2017, and while the La Liga champions would have to take a loss on that, he would still be out of Tottenham’s price range.
Malcom may be more affordable for Spurs, but Barcelona would not let them both go.
If Dembele were to leave, Malcom would have the type of opportunity he has craved to get his career at the Nou Camp started.
