Malcom has already made more than 20 first team appearances for Corinthians, one of South America’s biggest football clubs, and his playing style has been compared to that of Brazilian international Neymar, who was the poster boy of this summer’s World Cup.
Chelsea are not the only club to have been linked with a move for Malcom, however, with Neymar’s club, Barcelona, as well as Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United also linked with the teenager.
