Malcom reportedly transfer listed but Tottenham should focus on Sessegnon now

Brazilian winger Malcom has been transfer listed by Barcelona, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

When he was at Bordeaux in 2018, Malcom was linked by the Telegraph with a move to Tottenham but he opted to join the Spanish giants instead.

It hasn’t worked out as he has predictably struggled to get gametime and now Barca are apparently looking to recoup their 41 million euros (£36.2 million) outlay.

If that has Tottenham thinking that they could resurrect their interest, then the fact that the Evening Standard reported earlier this month that they’re the favourites to sign Ryan Sessegnon should put them off.

Sessegnon has the ability to be a very special player, and it was only Fulham’s awful transfer policy and changing of managers that halted his development this season.

He would be a better option than Malcom, younger and already adapted to English football. Sessegnon is ready to take the step up to the next level and really show the Premier League what he can do.

Who knows where Malcom’s confidence and form is after a botched move to Barcelona? Sessegnon has shown himself to be mature and level-headed beyond his years and is the superior option at this moment in time.
