Everton chief Marcel Brands remains keen on Barcelona winger Malcom.

Having already raided Barca three times last summer for Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes, Brands is ready to try his luck again for Malcom.

The Brazilian only moved to Barca from Bordeaux at the end of last season, but there is hope he'll be interested in hearing from Brands after a tough first six months in Spain.

An enquiry was lodged with Malcom last week, which received a lukewarm response.

However, that hasn't put off Brands, who will try again nearer to the closure of the winter market.
