Manchester United and Arsenal target Malcom has apparently dropped a transfer hint by revealing he is taking English lessons.

The Bordeaux wonderkid is a January target for a number of Premier League clubs after impressing in Ligue 1 this season.

The 20-year-old starlet has netted seven times in 18 appearances this campaign, and has assisted his teammates on four occasions.

He was previously in talks with the Red Devils over a mooted £33million transfer, but the proposed deal failed to materialise.

It was at the time,reported that the Manchester club were prepared to loan him back to the French outfit for the remainder of the season.

The Brazilian, who started his career at Corinthians before joining Bordeaux in 2016, took to Instagram on Saturday to show the world what he is currently up to.

And it seems he sparked some excitement by revealing he is learning to speak English, by posting a picture of the flash cards he is using to study.

Manchester United are yet to dip their toes in the water this transfer window, despite Jose Mourinho wanting to sign a left-back and a wide man.

Arsenal on the other hand have already landed a wonderkid - young Greek defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Arsene Wenger confirmed that the 20-year-old centre-back will be loaned straight back out however, with Werder Bremen the expected destination.
