MESSI, NEY and Ronaldinho
Malcolm was happy to link up with Leo. "Messi is the best footballer in the world, a legend. I hope to learn a lot by his side. It's a big experience and I hope to help him be greater still."
However it is two Brazilians that Malcom associates most with Barca.
"I had the chance to sign for Barcelona and since I was a kid I have dreamed of playing for this club, alongside the best players in the world, who are here.
"When I was growing up, I liked Ronaldinho a lot and then Neymar became [my idol]. I hope to follow in the same footsteps of the Brazilians that have played for Barcelona and to have the same success here."
