HITC translate their report, which says the Bordeaux winger’s agent is flying to England to speak with both Liverpool and Spurs about a potential transfer.
Sky Italia confirm Liverpool’s interest, but actually suggest it’s Serie A outfit Inter Milan who are in pole position to clinch the 22-year-old – claiming it’ll cost €50m to secure him.
Considering that’s not far off what Liverpool are about to pay for Nabil Fekir [Paul Joyce], we don’t think Liverpool will be interested at such a price.
Malcom scored 12 goals and registered seven assists in Ligue 1 this season just gone, but he’s still quite raw and inconsistent.
He has has bags of pace and trickery, but we’re not sure we’re going to be in a position to spend a huge sum of money on him, considering our need for a goalkeeper of elite quality.
Take this rumour with a pinch of salt, for now.
