#2 Malcolm (Barcelona)

Malcolm was involved in one of the longest transfer sagas of last summer when he left Bordeaux to join Barcelona, despite agreeing a deal to join Roma. However, the move hasn’t really worked out for the Brazilian winger, and there is now certainly a chance that he could be moved on this summer. He started just six times in La Liga last season, as well as making three appearances in the Champions League, all of which came from the bench.

He may prove to be surplus to requirements at Barcelona this summer, as they look likely to bring in Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, while there is also the outside chance that Neymar could return from PSG. Malcolm may be a good signing for Arsenal, as he does have that ability to go past a player that they don’t currently have. There is the issue that he hasn’t had too much football in the past year, but with a full pre-season behind him, he could be a very useful asset.
