They really aren’t. Malcom is more zippy and direct, Silva is more jinky and subtle.
If I had to guess why Malcolm’s stats look a bit sexier than Silva’s last year I’d say it maybe because Malcom is the main man at an underperforming Bordeaux where Silva was one of several talented players at Monaco last year who shared the game around (Moutinho, Lemar, Mbappe, Falcao etc) but that could be wrong and Malcom is just a highly productive fucker full stop.
I like Malcom, I think he was one of the first players I flagged up this year in Ligue1, and was possibly the first on here to flag him up?
But I can’t see us going for him now we’ve bought Moura. I know they are left (Malcom) and right footed and slightly different but even playing 4231 we’d have Lamela/Son/Moura/Malcom (Sissoko) fighting for one spot?
