Sky Sports had reported yesterday that Everton were in advanced talks to sign Malcom, with a £30 million deal being mooted.

Following the Liverpool Echo’s latest update, though, the time seems perfect for Spurs to swoop in.

Tottenham were keen on bringing the Brazilian winger to north London back in January, according to Football.London, and they have been monitoring his progress ever since.

Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to add a talented winger to his squad this summer, in an effort to provide more competition for the likes of Heung-Min Son, Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela.

Malcom is incredibly skilful, and possesses pace in abundance. He would offer Spurs something different in the final third, whilst keeping the other wide attacking players on their toes.

In today’s day and age, £30 million for a player of the Bordeaux ace’s quality would surely be considered as excellent value, and Pochettino should not hesitate to bring him to Tottenham this summer.
