Nuno Tavares to Join Nottingham Forest on Loan.
Terms of the Loan Deal
As per the transfer insider, the loan fee for the “exceptional” player will be a bit higher than £1 million, signaling Forest’s commitment to securing his services for the upcoming season. Additionally, a £12 million buy option is included in the agreement, providing the West Bridgford side with the option to make the move permanent if the player’s performances align with their expectations.
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Marseille, where he impressed one and all with his attacking prowess. However, with the arrivals of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jurrien Timber, he has fallen out of favor with Gunners manager Mikel Arteta.
Nuno Tavares’ Arsenal Stint
During his time at North London, the former Benfica man showcased glimpses of his potential, but his playing time was limited by the presence of other defensive options. As a left-back, he possesses the ability to contribute effectively both defensively and offensively.
His agility, speed, and willingness to overlap and provide width in the attack make him a dynamic asset down the flank.
As Nuno Tavares prepares to join the Tricky Trees, his arrival should inject fresh energy and competition within the squad, pushing existing players to elevate their performances.
