It seems that Tottenham Hotspur have taken the lead in the race for the Brazilian forward Malcom.
Even though the 20-year-old was close to a move to Arsenal, the Gunners’ interest has apparently gone a bit cold, with their North London rivals taking the chance to make an approach.
As reported by UOL today, Malcom’s representatives have had a meeting with Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino this week. The agents were delighted with the Argentine boss, who promised to make the player one of the best in Europe in three years time.
Tottenham’s advantage in the race is also reported by Goal Brasil today. The website had already been following Arsenal’s pursuit, and now claims that after the Gunners gave up, Spurs have another meeting in London with the player’s representatives scheduled for Friday.
