In a very bizarre turn of events in what has already been a very bizarre transfer window around Planet Earth, Barcelona have officially signed Brazilian winger Malcom from Bordeaux after hijacking a deal with AS Roma and bringing the 21-year-old to Camp Nou.
A very important piece of information when a new signing arrives at a new club is his number. While Barça haven’t quite confirmed it yet, Catalan Radio has the scoop and Malcom’s choice is not really a shocking one.
The Brazilian has chosen the number 7 shirt, which is a classic number for Brazilian wingers and the shirt Malcom played with for Bordeaux last season.
