Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares appears to be getting closer to a departure from the Emirates Stadium this summer.
The young Gunners full-back is surplus to Mikel Arteta’s requirements. And now he looks likely to leave. Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on X involving Tavares.
Arsenal are apparently close to reaching an agreement. This is with Nottingham Forest over the Portuguese talent.
The Gunners have discussed a loan deal. This comes also with the Reds which will include an option to buy, said Romano.
Nuno Tavares leaving Arsenal could benefit him a lot
Sadly Tavares hasn’t managed to stake a claim for a regular starting spot at Arsenal. This is despite starting brightly at the Gunners.
The youngster pushed Kieran Tierney out of the side for a while. This is with Mikel Arteta going as far as branding his performances as ‘exceptional‘.
However, the second half of Tavares’ maiden season didn’t go to plan. This prompted the Arsenal boss to rethink his strategy regarding him.
The ‘extraordinary‘ talent also did well initially. But at Marseille,where he played on loan last season, things eventually petered out for him.
Tavares could do with a change of clubs. And Forest would be a good place for him. This is inorder to kickstart his career.
Steve Cooper is a quality coach. And Tavares would be afforded more game time for a Premier League side. This is by hoping to kick on after last year’s relegation battle.
Arsenal are hoping to clear the deadwood in time so that they will be able to regulate FFP. They might make some late movement in the tranfer window if needed as their new signing Jurrien Timber got injured. Arsenal are hoping to finish in a better position than last season by adding the right amount of players which the team needs.
