#4 Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira
Malcom is just 20 and plays for the cash-strapped South American giants Corinthians. The youngster has spent his entire career at the club after he was given a chance to shine for the team by Mano Menezes in 2014.
Since then, he hasn’t looked back and soon became the leading striker for the team. His coach has openly admitted the youngster’s influence on the team, praising him for single-handedly raising the confidence of the rest of the team.
Strength, pace, and skill are a healthy cocktail in a young player, capable of attracting a fair few glances from any club in the world. The young Brazilian striker has all these attributes in no small amount and uses them to his advantage.
Playing just behind the main striker, Malcom is an influential figure in the attack and has the creativity to set up his teammates and put them through into good shooting positions. However, at the same time, he also has the skillset to create for himself and finish one-v-one chances.
With both Manchester United and Liverpool after the Brazilian youngster, a major problem is his complex ownership situation, with 70% of his rights owned by a businessman, someone who will definitely have a huge say as to where Malcom does end up.
