Bordeaux star Malcom wanted by Chelsea

Chelsea are tracking Brazilian forward Malcom, currently playing in Ligue 1 for Bordeaux. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has deployed scouts to watch Malcom in action domestically and his scouting network has sent back glowing reports.

In January 2016 Bordeaux wrapped up a 15 million euro move for Malcom, signing the 5 foot 7 winger from Corinthians in Brazil. Since then the 20-year-old has gone from strength to strength and has started out this 2016-17 campaign in top form.

It is understood that the Blues want to bring Malcom to Stamford Bridge with the money received for Oscar and as a possible long term replacement for Spanish international Pedro.

Malcom is hoping to make his first appearance for Brazil's full national team this year, having only appeared for the under-23 side so far.
