Currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, Nuno Tavares isn’t having the best of times, even with a Portuguese manager now in charge at the City Ground.
Therefore, according to L’Equipe in France, the player is ‘destined to return’ to Arsenal, where he is under contract until 2025.
However, the problem for the defender is that he has ‘no prospects’ with the Gunners going forward, since Mikel Arteta doesn’t seem to want him around.
This all comes as part of an article about what Marseille could do in the last few days of the transfer window, as they keep searching for a left-back.
The Arsenal defender made a surprise return as a target for the Ligue 1 side, because while he started last season’s loan there in great form, he faded quite dramatically during the second half of the campaign under Igor Tudor.
With Gennaro Gattuso now in charge, perhaps there is hope that he can recapture his initial performances were he to return on loan a second time, which is something the French club are considering.
The Arsenal man is one of the players they are keeping in mind, alongside Adrien Truffert, Quentin Merlin, Bradley Locko and even former Manchester City defender Angeliño.
We will now have to wait and see what happens between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal for Tavares, who really needs to find a permanent exit in the next few months to put an end to this constant back and forth from the Emirates.
