Bordeaux president Stephane Martin claims that reported Arsenal and Spurs target Malcom can ‘dream’ of playing for Bayern Munich.

The 21-year-old has been in fine form this season, netting nine league goals to attract the interest of some of Europe’s top clubs.

Both north London clubs have been linked with a move for Malcom, and the president of Bordeaux claims that Bayern declaring they are not interest means nothing.

Speaking alongside Malcom in a joint-interview with BILD, Martin said: “A denial [from Bayern] at this time means little.

“First, I think it would not be the right message to the existing players. Second, you would inform other clubs very early on his future plans.

“Malcom can still dream of Bayern.”

When asked about Martin’s comments, Malcom replied: “I agree with Mr. Martin.”
