| 17 year old Malcolm |
Malcolm Filipe Silva de Oliveira or simply Malcolm as he is known in Brazil is a 17 year old winger/striker who is lighting up the Brasileirao.
Having played in his first season for Corinthians first team, Malcolm is now on the radar of a number of European teams.
At just 17 years of age he has made 25 appearances for Mano Mendezes' side and has shown great potential. Malcolm's speed and elusiveness make him a nightmare for defenders to handle. He also has great strength and balance while running at opponents and he has proved that he is not a bad finisher either.
Chelsea and Barcelona are the front runners to sign Malcolm but there is interest from other top teams like Arsenal and Manchester United. The youngster has a €20 million price tag and after drawing comparisons to Neymar he might well be worth it.
Neymar did spend 4 years at Santos before making the big move to Barcelona to mature as a player and develop his skill set. The question is, would it be best for Malcolm to follow in the footsteps of his countryman. Whether he makes the move or not time will tell, so keep watching.
