Liverpool have stepped up their quest for a new attacker by placing a bid for Bordeaux striker Malcom, according to reports from Italy.
The Brazilian forward has scored 23 goals in 96 appearances for the French side and Jurgen Klopp has identified Malcom as a player he would like to add to his squad during the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old looks certain to leave the French club this summer, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting that Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain have all tabled bids for the striker. He has been in high demand over the course of the season, with Liverpool's Premier League rivals Spurs going close to signing the player in January.
