The Gunners have scored 78 goals in 33 Premier League appearances this season with Mikel Arteta’s side a constant risk in the final third.
However, despite the upward trajectory of the north London squad, they face the prospect of placing a short-back this summer due to the contract situation of Reiss Nelson.
After playing just 123 minutes of league football all season, the Englishman will most likely leave the Emirates Stadium at the end of his contract.
While Arsenal can claim to be well supplied with attacking options, Arteta is keen to bolster his squad this summer with the club’s return to the Champions League.
As Pedro Almeida advances, Arteta is interested in signing Malcom.
The 26-year-old has been playing in Russia since August 2019, contributing 41 goals and 24 assists in 106 appearances in all competitions.
He recorded a remarkable contribution of 31 goals in 25 league games this campaign, the Brazilian in the window of a possible move to a bigger club.
Malcom spent time at Barcelona but was allowed to leave the Camp Nou after scoring just four goals and two assists in 24 outings.
Zenit remains in a strong position when it comes to the player’s long duration with 4 years remaining on the midfielder’s contract.
However, as lately Zenit is allowed to play European football, it is accepted that Malcolm can be sold at the right price.
Zenit paid Barcelona a payment of 40 million euros and it is expected that Zenit will ask for a figure in this region if they get offers for their star man.
