Report: Everton in advanced talks with Bordeaux for Malcom
Malcom may be destined for Merseyside.
Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol reports that Everton is in advanced talks with Bordeaux over a possible transfer for the Brazilian winger.
Solhekol adds that a meeting is said to be in the works for Thursday between Everton brass and Bordeaux chairman Stephane Martin, and the two parties will reportedly discuss a fee in the range of £30 million (€33.7 million).
Malcom has been on the radar of other Premier League clubs. The Brazilian youth international drew increasing interest from Arsenal and Tottenham in January, though Martin affirmed his club wouldn't sell its prized star during the winter transfer window.

The 21-year-old right-winger is coming off an impressive Ligue 1 season in which he netted a club-best 12 goals and added seven assists in 35 games, helping Bordeaux finish sixth and secure a berth in the Europa League's second qualifying round.
Malcom joined Bordeaux in January 2016 after two years with Corinthians in his hometown of Sao Paulo. He signed a new contract with Les Girondins in September, tying him to the French club until 2021.
