Chelsea have held talks with the representatives of Bordeaux star Malcom over a summer transfer, though they face competition from Liverpool according to reports in France.
The Brazilian youngster is one of the hottest talents in Europe after a stellar campaign in which he scored 12 goals and laid on a further seven assists in 35 Ligue 1 appearances.
His form saw him linked with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs in January, though Bordeaux were adamant he would not allowed to leave midway through the season.

But Malcom once again looks set to be part of a transfer tug-of-war, with French newspaper Sud-Ouest reporting that his entourage travelled to England to discuss a move.
