    ALEXIS SANCHEZ

    Arsenal will listen to offers of around £35 million for Alexis Sanchez in January, according to the Daily Mail.

    The Gunners are ready to cash in on the unsettled attacker to avoid losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

    Man City boss Pep Guardiola is keen to reunite with the Chilean international, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

    Italian giants AC Milan and Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain are among the other clubs interested in securing his services.

    RATING: 8/10

    VERDICT

    An approach from Pep Guardiola’s side would certainly interest the Chilean, and with a salary of around €332,000 per week, it’s a move not to rule out just yet.

    Although he has been linked with a move to England’s north-west before, it is likely the deal will go through next summer.

    MALCOM 

    Manchester United are set to make a bid of around  £33 million for Bordeaux star Malcom, according to the Daily Mail.

    Jose Mourinho considers the Brazilian as the best young player in Europe and wants to sign him next summer.

    Bordeaux are believed to be looking for more than £55m – a fee United are unwilling to pay.

    Malcom has been one of the mainstays in a struggling Bordeaux side this season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 16 games.

    SPORT360 RATING: 6/10

    VERDICT

    Although his club are languishing in 15th place in Ligue 1, Malcom has been taking the league by storm with his glittering footwork and passing ability.

    As Mourinho looks to strengthen his squad for next season, the young Brazilian could inject more class in an already star-studded attack.

    Although £55 million is an expensive asking price, the Manchester hierarchy believe a fee of £33 million could be enough to get the deal over the line.
