Transfer: Barcelona decide on top attacker joining Arsenal for £50m

Barcelona have decided to let forward, Malcom, join Arsenal this summer for £50million.

According to Spanish newspaper, Sport, the La Liga champions want the 22-year-old to join the Premier League giants on a permanent basis.

Malcom had drawn interest from the Gunners in recent months.

The Brazilian was among the seven players the Catalan club placed on "transfer list", including midfielders, Phillippe Coutinho and Denis Suarez.

Malcom joined Barcelona from Bordeaux last summer for £37million.

The winger scored just a goal and gave two assists in 19 appearances for Ernesto Valvarede's side last season.

Speaking on interest from Arsenal recently, Malcom wrote on his Instagram account: "About news that came out here in Spain, I want to clarify this, I came to Barcelona with many objectives, and those who know me know that I am a very determined person.

"I'm very happy with my development with every passing day.

"My objective is to make my dreams come true.

"My family is also adapting very well to the city. Anyway, I'll continue fighting for everything I desire in my career."
