Arsenal agree loan deal with Olympique Marseille for Nuno Tavares

Nuno Tavares has a new team. Arsenal have reached an agreement with Olympique de Marseille for the loan of the young Portuguese full-back, who will play for the French club in Ligue 1 during the 2022-23 season. 

Olympique Marseille have announced via their official social media channels the loan of the 22-year-old left-back, who will continue his professional career away from English soil.

The aim of the Gunners' board is for Tavares to be able to grow and have more opportunities away from his club, so that he can return at the end of the season with more experience as a professional footballer. 

The former Benfica player, the club with which he trained, arrived in England last summer. During the 2021-22 season, he played a total of 1,499 minutes in 28 games, 17 of them as a starter. He also scored a goal and provided a couple of assists.
