Arsenal have received some good updates in their chase of Bordeaux star Malcom after Tottenham are reportedly set to drop their interest to sign the Brazilian winger.

This season, the starlet scored a total of seven goals and provided five assists in 21 matches across all competitions for his current club, a respectable number considering his young age.

Should Tottenham eventually drop their interest to sign the attacker, it’ll be a major boost for the Gunners, who’ll have a much easier time pursuing the starlet.
