Arsenal are weighing up a January loan move for Barcelona winger Malcom.

The Brazilian moved to the Nou Camp in the summer at the 11th hour after Barca hijacked a proposed move to Roma.

Tottenham had also been keen on Malcom and are continuing to monitor his situation at the Nou Camp.

SPORT report Arsenal want to snap up the 21-year-old on loan with Malcom believed to be open to the switch.

He is likely to be in demand though and it remains to be seen if - and where - Barca would let him go.
