Good luck. Hope he does well.

Yep good luck to him. Still think he is a wide forward and not a FB.
Interesting to see how Lazio use him

Yeah we should have tried him at LW

[VCC]

Apparently injured after 22 mins of first start

Complete and total humiliation for Arteta and Edu

Lazio will make Tavares loan deal permanent in the summer for 5 million euros from parent club Arsenal

There is then the strong possibility Tavares will immediately be sold to Juventus who have identified the fullback as their number one target to replace Cambiaso who is expected to leave in the summer

Lazio are likely to ask for 20 million euros for the Portuguese fullback

He was a better LB option than Zinchenko and Calafiori, all things considered. Never got a chance once Arteta got ££ to get his City reunion party started.

Lazio will pay Arsenal a fee worth 9m euros (£7.57m) to sign 25-year-old Portuguese left-back Nuno Tavares in a loan deal with an obligation to buy. (Fabrizio Romano)

Chelsea would get 25m

Why are we so bad at selling?

Nuno Tavares has moved to Serie A side Lazio on a permanent transfer.

The 25-year-old defender joined us from Benfica in July 2021 and made 28 appearances in all competitions. He scored his first competitive goal for us in a 3-1 win against Manchester United in April 2022.

Lisbon-born Nuno joined Benfica’s academy in 2015, spending six years with the club. After graduating to the first team, Nuno made his debut in style, lifting silverware aged 19 as Benfica defeated Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in the Portuguese Super Cup in August 2019.

Following his debut season at the club, the attacking full-back spent time on loan with Marseille, Nottingham Forest and Lazio. He made 39 appearances in all competitions for Marseille during the 2022/23 season, scoring six times to help Marseille to a third-place finish in Ligue 1.

A loan spell with Nottingham Forest came the following season, where Nuno made a combined 12 appearances in the Premier League and FA Cup. Nuno then spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan with Lazio, where he made 30 appearances in all competitions. He assisted nine times, eight of which came in the first 10 league games.

During his time on loan at Lazio, Nuno was awarded his first senior international cap when he came on as a substitute in Portugal’s 5-1 win against Poland in the UEFA Nations League, in November 2024.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Nuno for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for the future.

The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.

Now get rid of Lokonga permanently, and that particular shitshow of a transfer window which saw those two flown over on private jets and given the Ronaldo treatment, can finally be forgotten.

Another player from the horror 2021 window is done

He was never at the levels. it's a good club for him.

If he hadn't signed for us and was a 25yo LB coming off a great season in Serie A, we'd be all over this. We spent 5X that amount signing Calafiori and he was benched by a 17yo who'd never played in the senior squad before.
