Arsenal are looking to offload several players and Nuno Tavares is on Nottingham Forest’s radar with the Premier League side prepared to pay a hefty fee to land the full-back
Nottingham Forest will step up their attempts to sign Nuno Tavares from Arsenal this week.
Discussions are advancing but the type of deal – loan or permanent – is still being determined. Forest are willing to pay £30million to take the Portuguese left-back, who has also attracted interest from Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg in Germany.
âThe player’s preference is to stay in the Premier League, though, meaning Steve Cooper’s side are in the driving seat. Arsenal agreed to let goalkeeper Alex Runarsson move to Cardiff on loan last week and a final decision on Tavares is expected imminently.
The full-back was signed in 2021 from Benfica but, after failing to establish himself in the Arsenal back four, was sent out on loan last term to Marseille. Despite being a regular in Ligue 1 it doesn’t look as if there is an obvious route back into the starting XI at the Emirates.
