I really want us to sign this bloke. Who knows if he's going to be good enough in the long run; it'll depend on a million different factors, but he's just straight up exciting to watch. We don't have any exciting players turning out for us on most match days.

Agree on the excitement front. If I walked in today as GM and was resigned to losing both Sanchez and Ozil, I would sign Malcom without an L and my first love, the little Fekir from Lyon. We lack buzz, and these two players, while not stars, could bring some flair to our game. Fekir would be my preference for an Ozil replacement. While not as sublime with the ball, he is creative, versatile across the frontline, and an incredible scorer with almost a goal a game in Ligue 1.

A link-up with Malcom could disrupt defenses a bit more than we tend to. Keep Jack and Ramsey in there, and there is a little bit of quality on display.

Appreciate a player - that like Sanchez - can create and score goals himself. Malcom's got a hell of a shot, and seems driven to head towards net every time he's on the ball. Would be a welcome change from the likes of Walcott and Welbeck out wide at the very least, with hopes that in a year or so he's edging closer to Sanchez's level. Doubt he'll ever be able to contribute what Sanchez does, but he there's hope which is more than can be said with Welbeck / Walcott.

Should be in the other clubs transfer thread.

When Özil is gone there will be no reason to turn on the TV.

Maybe Jack but that's it.

He'll be injured, so...

"You've only come to see Iwobeee!!"

Doesn't look very lean. I'm sure Dula would agree. In fact lools like he's been on the Arshavin Maccas diet.

Is he just a winger or could he play as an AM? I guess what I'm asking is, could we play Malcom in the middle?

Orny has confirmed he’s our first choice to replace Alexis.

he's in our price range and playing at a club that isn't exactly setting the world alight. makes sense

Another player linked to Sven. 

I didn't know anything about this kid prior to a couple of days ago but he looks good. 

Yep, Dortmund wanted Malcom as their Dembele replacement during the summer. I wanted him if we couldn't get Lemar back in the summer. 

So from those that watch more French football than I do, how does he compare to Lemar?

And could we theoretically sign both of money were no object of would they not work in the same team?

I've heard that he's actually not that good at long shots, but just takes so many of them.

I like the look of Kluivert more. Could we get him instead?
