Tottenham are interested in signing Barcelona winger Malcom in the January transfer window in a £44million move.

Malcom only joined Barcelona from Bordeaux in the summer, but the winger has been used sparingly so far by manager Ernesto Valverde.

As reported by Sport, Tottenham are monitoring Malcom's situation as they look to improve their squad.

Malcom has made just two substitute appearances in La Liga so far, with his playing time totalling only 25 minutes.

With players such as Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele ahead of him and Philippe Coutinho also capable of playing out wide, Malcom faces a major battle to get into the Barcelona side.

Tottenham are fully aware of the quality that Malcom possesses, with the Brazilian having scored 12 goals and provided seven assists in 35 Ligue 1 appearances for Bordeaux last season.

Having not made any additions to their squad in the summer, Tottenham could be heavily active in January as they seek to ensure that they can enjoy a successful campaign.

Mauricio Pochettino's side, who are in fifth place in the Premier League, face West Ham away on Saturday.

Tottenham secured a 1-0 victory over Cardiff in their last game prior to the international break.
