Report: Arsenal want Malcom on loan but Barcelona will only let him leave on a permanent deal

According to Spanish outlet Sport, Arsenal are keen on a loan move for out-of-favour Barcelona winger Malcom, but the La Liga giants are only interested in a permanent deal. The Brazil international has struggled for playing minutes since arriving the Camp Nou from Bordeaux for £37 million last summer, making just six league starts last term. Malcom has his heart set on a move to the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners interested in a deal with the option to buy at the end of the season-long loan. Barcelona, though, want to cut their loses on the forward with moves for Antoine Griezmann and Neymar being engineered.
