Tottenham have discussed the possibility of revisiting their interest in Barcelona’s Malcom to boost their forward options but they are unsure about the chances of agreeing a deal with the La Liga giants this month.

Spurs held talks to sign the Brazilian from Marseille a year ago before he moved to the Camp Nou.

Malcom has played just 97 minutes in La Liga for Barca this term and was left out of the squad for the 3-0 win over Levante on Thursday night.

After the game, coach Ernesto Valverde said: “Malcom has qualities, we want to see them. Today he hasn’t played but on Sunday we have another game and he can play.”

Meanwhile, Pochettino has long wanted a new midfielder and Moussa Sissoko’s injury could finally force Levy to act, even if the chairman wants to try to offload deadwood like Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou before entering the market.
