On the official homepage, Nottingham Forest confirmed that defender Nuno Tavares will return to Arsenal after his loan contract expires.

In the summer transfer period of 2021, Tavares officially joined Arsenal from Benfica for 8 million pounds. Considered to have huge development potential, but after 3 years with the Gunners, the Portuguese star has still not been able to win the trust of coach Mikel Arteta and is constantly being loaned out to many other teams. together.

In the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons respectively, the player born in 2000 had the opportunity to gain experience at Marseille as well as Nottingham Forest but did not leave much of an impression and was returned to Arsenal .

This season, Tavares appeared only 8 times for the City Ground team and did not have any contribution to the club’s goals.

Returning to Arsenal, it is likely that the 24-year-old defender will not have the opportunity to play for the Gunners because the left wing is currently extremely cramped with the presence of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jakub Kiwior and Jurrien Timber, so it is not surprising. However, coach Arteta added the name of the former Benfica star to the liquidation list .

Not only did he fail to meet the professional requirements, Tavares also disappointed the Emirates Stadium coaching staff with his attitude and discipline in competition and training.

Last summer, L’Equipe revealed that one of the biggest reasons why Arteta decided to remove Tavares from the plan was because the Portuguese star was lazy in training sessions. Next, Marseille also complained about Tavares’ playing attitude during his time on loan at the Velodrome.
