Tottenham want to sign Bordeaux forward Malcom during the January transfer window.
However, Spurs face stiff competition from a string of clubs across Europe, including Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
Malcom, a 20-year-old Brazil youth international, has established himself in France as a bright prospect.
He has scored 18 goals in 81 appearances since joining Bordeaux from Corinthians last January.
Spurs, whose next match at Wembley is against West Ham on 4 January, are considering their options ahead of the upcoming window.
They are also interested in Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon and Everton’s Ross Barkley.
