Malcom could be on his way to the Premier League this summer

Malcom, 20, has been a revelation in Ligue 1 since his arrival from Corinthians two years ago. As a result, his performances have unsurprisingly attracted interest from some of Europe's top sides - including Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham.

His flair and ability to take on defenders with ease makes him an attractive option for most teams going forward, adding something extra in the final third. Having netted eight goals and created five assists in France's top-flight so far this term, he was rumoured to be joining Arsenal during last month's January transfer window for a high price.

However, new manager Gus Poyet confirmed the Brazilian winger would be going nowhere - as per one of the conditions which they agreed prior to him signing as their new boss.

Whether or not the Gunners will persist with another attempt in the summer is unknown, but with so many suitors, it's unlikely that he'll remain a Bordeaux player much longer, regardless of their asking price.
