Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares Completes Loan Move To Marseille

Portuguese international, Nuno Tavares have completed a loan move to Marseille from Arsenal, the two clubs made this known on Saturday.

The 22-year-old signed for Premier League side Arsenal from Benfica last year and made a total of 28 appearances for the Gunners, scoring once.

He was largely used as a back-up for injury-hit Scottish full-back Kieran Tierney and Arsenal have also signed left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City in the close season, pushing Tavares further down the pecking order.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal play the opening match of the Premier League season on Friday at Crystal Palace.

An Arsenal statement read: “Everyone at Arsenal wishes Nuno all the best this coming season with Marseille.

“The loan deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.”
