Arsenal is now considering the permanent sale of Nuno Tavares as he faces challenges securing playing time at Nottingham Forest. The Portuguese left-back had a successful loan spell with Olympique Marseille last season, featuring in over 30 competitive games for the French team.
However, Tavares has struggled for playing time at Nottingham Forest, leading to reports suggesting a potential departure from the Premier League side in the current transfer window. Olympique Marseille has reportedly expressed renewed interest in him.
A report from The Sun reveals that Arsenal is now open to the idea of selling Tavares permanently. The Gunners do not anticipate significant improvement from the player, and it is suggested that he may have played his last game for Arsenal. Initially hoping for improvement during his loan spell, Arsenal is now willing to explore the possibility of a permanent move for Tavares, believing that he could find a suitable suitor.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Tavares is not good enough for us, and his spell at Forest might be a clear indication that he is not good enough for any Premier League club as well.
The earlier we offload him, the better it will be for us because his value reduces with each poor spell he has away from the club.

Good attacking wingback, but not a defensive fullback. Would play well in the right team that plays 5 at the back.
Maybe only the legendary Frenchman could mould this kid into something worthwhile
Always seems to be on a self destructive path.
Self destructive? He’s the same player as the 1 we signed. Don’t sign players if you can’t coach them properly or if they don’t fit into your overly rigid tactics…..end of story.
He didn’t play badly the last time I watched him in the Nottingham – Brendford game.
So unless Marseille can offer a significant figure for his services, I’d think we leave him at his present loan club until the summer. More impressive performances for Forest could well improve his market rating by then, and some lower-rung PL clubs could be scrambling for his signature.
One wonders why it took so long to come to a decision to move Tavares. It is not entirely surprising since we still have the likes of Soares, El Neny and Marquinhos while the academy is overflowing with talent. Why is there such an urgency to move players like ESR, Partey, Kiewor while hanging on to Jorginho, Harvertz and Nketiah? Where’s the sense in that?
