A number of Spurs fans have taken to Twitter after reports emerged from the Daily Star suggesting that Mauricio Pochettino could target a loan move for Malcom following Harry Kane’s injury blow.

The club have confirmed on their official website this week that Kane is expected to be out until March after sustaining an ankle injury in the defeat to Manchester United at the weekend.

Of course, this leaves Spurs with few striker options for the coming weeks. Fernando Llorente has struggled for game-time, and thus, has often looked rusty when he has received a chance. Meanwhile, it would be a surprise if Vincent Janssen featured during this spell.

The Daily Star is now reporting that Tottenham could look to try and sign Malcom on loan, with the attacking midfielder potentially being deployed in a central role.

As well as noticing the pun regarding the Barcelona forward and the position that Spurs would reportedly play him in, plenty of the Tottenham fans have expressed their excitement about a potential move for the 21-year-old.

Many are sceptical about the chances of a deal coming to fruition. But it is clear that many would love to see something happen if it is at all possible this month.
