Italian newspaper Inter want Malcom to form an attacking trio with fellow Brazilian Gabriel 'Gabigol' Barbosa and Argentine Mauro Icardi.

Malcom, who has also caught the eye of Sevilla boss Jorge Sampaoli, has been linked with Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea by the Brazilian media.

Malcom joined Bordeaux from Brazilian giants Corinthians in a £5m deal and has four goals in 25 Ligue 1 appearances.

He was nurtured by former and current Brazil coaches Mano Menezes and Tite at the Sao Paulo club, where he won the 2015 Brazilian title.
