Tottenham are getting a clear run at Bordeaux striker Malcom.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal have pulled out of the race for the Brazilian 20-year-old.

Ligue 1 side Bordeaux value their starlet at around £45million which would see him become Spurs' new record signing.

Yet the north London club are believed to want to do a deal for closer to £35m plus add-ons and it would likely see Malcom stay in France until the summer.

Manchester United were also interested in Malcom but Tottenham have pulled ahead and the player is keen to come to the Premier League.
