Spurs, Arsenal show interest in Barcelona winger Malcom?

Barcelona winger Malcom has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

After a big-money move from Bordeaux last summer, Malcom was restricted to just nine starts and 13 substitute appearances in all competitions during the most recent campaign.

The 22-year-old may be in line for more regular outings next season, but the Brazilian could find himself surplus to requirements if Barcelona secure a reunion with Neymar.

The Catalan giants are limited to three players who hold a non-EU passport, leaving the possibility of Malcom being sacrificed to accommodate his compatriot.

According to Diario AS, both Spurs and Arsenal are monitoring the situation at a time when they are both considering additions in the final third.

Spurs may prefer a permanent transfer, although Arsenal are only likely to be able to afford a loan deal due to their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
