Arsenal Target Malcom Talks 'Dream' Move to Bayern Munich Amid Fresh Rumours

Bordeaux winger Malcom has stated it is his "dream" to play for German giants Bayern Munich but has also left the door open for a potential move to the Premier League.

The Brazilian attacker has been linked with both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur recently but has made it clear his preference would be to move to Bayern, while he also said his time with Bordeaux is likely drawing to a close, per Sky (via Goal's Harry Sherlock):

"Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world and it would be a dream to play there one day. It makes me happy that they are thinking about me. I will keep working hard to improve and, who knows, a transfer to Munich might become reality soon. ... I worked well here and I am thankful to Bordeaux. But I need a new challenge and have new goals. ... The Premier League is also a very interesting option." 

Malcom, 21, joined Bordeaux from Brazilian side Corinthians in January 2016 and immediately became a popular player at the club.

In the 2017-18 Ligue 1 campaign, he has netted eight goals and provided six assists in 27 appearances.

Given he is still young, he has been impressive in establishing himself as one of the French club's key players, and it is little surprise he has been linked with bigger European outfits.

Able to operate on either flank or through the middle, Malcom boasts a number of assets that make him an exciting attacking player.

His delivery from the wing is excellent, and he is also comfortable running with the ball at his feet. Meanwhile, he can be dangerous from set pieces.

While Malcom has stated a preference for a move to Bayern, he may not get his wish any time soon, as manager Jupp Heynckes said he has never seen him play, per Sherlock.

That could open the door for the likes of Arsenal and Spurs to sign Malcom, and both north London clubs could likely offer the Brazilian more regular action than Bayern.
