The Brazil Under 20 international, who moved to Ligue One from Corinthians in 2016, would command a fee in the region of £50 million but it's noted that Arsenal are "serious" about him and actively trying to find an agreement.
Malcolm for £40m? Honestly I know nothing about the player to know if thats a good deal or not. But surely Mahrez/Lemar are better options?

Malcolm, who can play in multiple roles, would come in as a direct replacement for Alexis Sanchez, who looks nailed on to leave and could even be a Manchester City player by the time the January transfer window ends.
He isn't the only name to be linked though, as d according to TyC Sports, the Gunners have identified Cristian Pavon, the next big thing to emerge from Argentine giants Boca Juniors, as the man to fill Sanchez's boots.
