Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Arsenal have been put on high alert following reports that Bayern Munich have opened talks with Malcom over a move to the Allianz.
The Bordeaux forward has emerged as a top target for Arsene Wenger’s side in recent months. Malcom has also been linked with a move to Tottenham, but it appears the Brazilian could be set to snub the Premier League altogether.
According to Team Talk, Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes plans to replace veteran Franck Ribery with Malcom, whose value appears to have risen to £52m.
Arsenal and Spurs both made moves for the highly-rated 20-year-old in January but Bordeaux stood firm and refused to sell due to their struggles in Ligue 1.
The Gunners instead recruited Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United. The midfielder claimed three asissts in his home debut, but has failed to produce the goods since.
It’s uncertain whether Arsenal will now step in and attempt to finalise a deal for Malcom.
