Arsenal switch sights to Barcelona winger Malcom

Arsenal are making a fresh move for Barcelona winger Malcom.

The Sun says the Gunners asked Barca to let them have attacking star Malcom on loan during their talks over midfielder Denis Suarez.

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has been ignoring former Bordeaux star Malcom, 21, this season but the club hierarchy still rate him highly and are reluctant to lose him.

That may open the door for a loan before the window shuts to keep him sharp for a return in the summer, while also putting the winger in the shop window to keep his value up.

Barcelona are dithering about Malcom's long-term future and would demand £50million for him if they sell, a fee Arsenal would consider paying.
