Premier League leaders Chelsea are eyeing a move for Corinthians starlet Malcom, according to the Mirror.
Despite being just seventeen years old, the attacker has already racked up twenty-four senior appearances, scoring two goals and the Blues are already considering making him their latest Brazilian signing.
Jose Mourinho already has Brazil internationals Filipe Luis, Ramires, Oscar and Willian in his squad – with the latter three all members of ex-Chelsea boss Phil Scolari’s squad for this summer’s World Cup finals in Brazil.
Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon moved them level on points with Mourinho’s men, though they can reopen a three point lead if they beat Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.
The Blues lost last season’s corresponding fixture, but have won five of the last six meetings between the sides without conceding, and an away win to nil this time around can be backed at 11/8.
