STAYING PUT

Arsenal news: Malcom not joining Arsenal or Tottenham this month, claims Bordeaux boss Gus Poyet

The £50million-rated star is being chased by North London's two Premier League giants

ARSENAL and Tottenham's hopes of signing Malcom this month have been dashed by Bordeaux boss Gus Poyet.

The Brazilian has been linked with a blockbuster move to the Premier League all month.

Speculation intensified further when the 20-year-old's representatives were spotted in London just over a week ago.

But the prospect of the £50million-rated attacker heading to England before the transfer window slams shut appears to be over.

Poyet, who formerly managed Brighton and Sunderland, took charge of the French club Bordeaux last week.

And he has insists that after holding talks with the star, the 20-year-old will be staying put until at least the summer.

Poyet said: "I asked straight away if Malcom would be staying or not.

"They said yes."

Malcom has scored seven times in Ligue 1 so far this campaign and is believed to keen on a switch to the Prem.

But Bordeaux president Stephane Martin is also adamant he will not be sold over the coming days.

He said: "Malcom, it has been said and repeated, he will not leave.

"He said he wanted to play in the Premier League someday.

"It’s normal, which player would not want to play in England? So there is no problem Malcom."

Arsenal were leading the chase for the attacker before the Alexis Sanchez transfer saga began to swing into action.

Arsene Wenger and the Gunners are now concentrating on finalising Henrikh Mkhitaryan's arrival in exchange for the Chilean as well as concluding a blockbuster move for Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

That put neighbours Spurs in pole position for the ex-Corinthians ace.

But now it looks like any potential deal will have to be put on ice until the end of the campaign.
