The north London rivals have both been heavily linked with the Brazilian throughout the January transfer window.

Arsenal are desperate for reinforcements in attack as they look to replace Alexis Sanchez, who is set to join Manchester United this week.

Armenian winger Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be joining the Gunners in a swap deal but boss Arsene Wenger wants more fresh faces.

Spurs are keen to add the 20-year-old to their exciting project and Malcom’s representatives have reportedly been impressed with Mauricio Pochettino’s vision for developing young players at the club.

    Following Bordeaux’s 1-0 win over Nantes yesterday he said: “I do not know if I will be staying or leaving.

    “I leave that to my agents, to the club. If I leave that is great, I thank the club for everything.

    "That is life. These are choices. There you go. Now we will see. If I have to stay, I will stay. If I am to leave, then I will leave. So long as I am here, I will do my work.
