Shandong Taishan team chose to bring in Zeka from the Korean league in order to strengthen the center forward position this season. When he played in the Korean league, Zeka had a commendable performance. It's just that Zeka was plagued by injuries shortly after joining the Taishan team. Zeka won't be back until the summer window at the earliest. At that time, it is still a huge unknown how far Zeka's form will be restored.
Therefore, some media recommended suitable strikers for the Taishan team to be selected in case of emergency. Malcom, who once played for Wuhan Three Towns and won the Golden Boot, is considered to be the best candidate for the Taishan team to strengthen the front. When Malcom played for Wuhan Three Towns, he had a commendable performance. Whenever Wuhan Three Towns were at a stalemate in the game, Malcom always stepped up.
For this reason, Wuhan Three Towns won the Chinese Super League championship under the strong performance of Malkang. It is worth mentioning that Malcom himself also won the Super League Golden Boot. Judging from the above facts, if Malcom can join the Taishan team, it can definitely play a plug-and-play effect. I don't know, whether the Taishan team will finalize Malcom's joining in advance.
After Malcom left Wuhan Three Towns, some fans called on him to return to the Chinese Super League. Because, Malcom's performance in the Saudi league was a mess. After Malcom arrives at Tarzan, there won't be much conflict between him and Zeka's position. Malcolm can play in midfield, just in time to play alongside Zeka. The Tarzan team has not been able to find a suitable candidate since the departure of Moises in the midfield position.
If Malcom can play a leading role in the forward position of the Taishan team, it will make many fans feel very happy. Malcom can complement Zeka's characteristics and improve the forward strength of the Taishan team to a higher level, which is what Cui Kangxi is most willing to see. It is hoped that when the Taishan team brings in reinforcements in the summer window, they can consider bringing in Malcom, and I believe that his performance will not disappoint the fans.
