ARSENAL wants to deflect Barcelona striker Malcom for £ 31.5 million.
The Merseysiders are convinced to reach an agreement with the Brazilian in the coming days.

But Arsenal boss, Unai Emery, identified the player as an alternative to Wilfried Zaha, the main target.
Gunners are trying to persuade Malcom to delay their move to Goodison by attempting to negotiate with Barca.
Emery practically gave up landing Zaha after her 40 million pound bid – half of what Crystal Palace wants – was rejected.
Arsenal still hopes that 26-year-old Zaha will file a transfer request to force her to leave for the UAE.
Arsenal will have trouble matching Everton's offer to 22-year-old Malcom and will try to persuade Barcelona to accept installments.
But the Spanish champions want to quickly raise cash to finance the movements of Neymar and Antoine Griezmann.
The Gunners confirmed former Invincible Edu as the club's first technical director.
And the 41-year-old Brazilian will not waste time on the job as he travels to the United States with Emery's team tomorrow.
Edu said, "Arsenal has always had a special place in my heart."
