Arsenal and Atalanta negotiations fall through, Marseille move now on the horizon for the defender
Nuno Tavares is set to leave Arsenal on loan for Marseille after talks with Atalanta broke down earlier this week. The 22-year-old, who arrived from Benfica last summer, struggled for minutes after the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko. With competition from Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney, Tavares has been left as Arsenal’s third-choice left-back. Marseille will now secure a deal for the defender, hoping he will get regular first-team action. Other clubs, including Real Sociedad, showed interest, but Tavares is set to join Ligue 1.
