Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur fans will take the first opportunity they can to mock one another, particularly when it comes to transfers.For a while now, the Gunners have been heavily linked with a swoop for talented Brazilian youngster Malcom, who plies his trade at Bordeaux.The media suggested that the 20-year-old was targeted as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez, who is expected to leave the Emirates before the end of the month.However, according to Goal.com, the North London outfit have withdrawn themselves from the race to sign Malcom.The report claims that manager Arsene Wenger is prioritising the captures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who could arrive as part of a swap deal involving Sanchez.Arsenal's reported decision to wait until the summer to discuss a deal could be costly as the media in Brazil are claiming that Tottenham are ready to swoop.UOL Esporte  claims that Mauricio Pochettino has told Malcom that he will strive to make the attacker one of the best in Europe over a three-year spell.These latest reports have certainly got Arsenal fans talking.
