Everton in contention to land Malcom – but should the Toffees make a move?

Everton have joined Arsenal and Tottenham as possible destinations for Barcelona winger Malcom – but should the Toffees make a move for the Brazilian?

According to Spanish outlet AS, cited by the Boot Room, the La Liga giants are willing to sell the former Bordeaux man and have offered the player’s services to both the Gunners and Spurs.

Everton are also now in the conversation to sign the 22-year-old, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The youngster was previously heavily linked with a move to Goodison Park prior to making the switch to the Nou Camp.

Malcom has since struggled in Spain and looks set to leave the club, but would he be a success at Goodison Park?

There’s no doubting the wide man has all the abilities needed to succeed in the Premier League when he’s at his best, however, Malcom has failed to show the consistency needed to make it at the top level.

Malcom showed glimpses of promise and scored four times in 24 appearances for Barcelona last season, failing to nail a regular starting spot under Ernesto Valverde.

The Toffees may have to pay a fee in the region of £30m for the winger, a large fee for a player who has no experience in the Premier League.

It would certainly be a risk bringing the youngster to Merseyside, however, it could be one Marco Silva is willing to take ahead of the new campaign.

Everton would more than likely be able to offer Malcom more game time over both Arsenal and Tottenham, a factor which could prove crucial if all three teams make a move for the player.

matchday.
