The former Barcelona man made his debut in Russia on Saturday but sections of the club's support questioned the signing of a black player
Malcom has been greeted at new club Zenit St. Petersburg by a banner that has been deemed to be racist.
The Brazil international swapped Barcelona for Russiathis week in a €39 million (£36m/$44m) deal, and made his Zenit debut on Saturday in a 1-1 draw with Krasnodar, during which a section of the supporters took the opportunity to sarcastically applaud their team’s adherence to what they view as a traditional refusal to sign black players.
