“We’re 100% open to selling him despite the fact that he’s a great player”- Arsenal’s owner Stan Kroenke say Arsenal are ready to get rid of ‘extraordinary’ Bukayo saka locker room best friend before the January transfer deadline- Not J5, not Partey and not Ramsdale
Arsenal’s Stan Kroenke has indicated that the team is fully prepared to sell their player, Nuno Tavares, whom they consider extraordinary, before the upcoming transfer deadline.
Recent reports suggest that Arsenal is willing to make Nuno Tavares’ loan move to Nottingham Forest permanent this month. Tavares, a Portuguese left-back, has not made a strong impression while on loan with Nottingham Forest, prompting talks of a potential return to Arsenal later this month.
There are whispers that Olympique Marseille has shown interest in acquiring Tavares, and it seems Arsenal is actively looking to finalize a deal before the upcoming deadline. According to football expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal is completely open to selling Tavares to Marseille on a permanent basis, contingent on Forest returning the defender to north London.
Once hailed as ‘extraordinary’ by former Marseille manager Igor Tudor, a move back to France could prove beneficial for both Tavares and Arsenal, especially if a satisfactory transfer fee can be negotiated for the 23-year-old fullback.
It would be a noteworthy achievement for Arsenal to sell Tavares at a profit, potentially providing financial flexibility for manager Mikel Arteta to make new signings for the team.
Tavares, who arrived at Arsenal from Benfica in 2021 for a reasonable fee, initially showed promise and impressed during his loan stint at Marseille last season. However, it is now evident that the Portuguese youth international may not possess the qualities required to succeed in the Premier League, as he has had limited playing time with Nottingham Forest this season.
Given these circumstances, Arsenal is urged to exert maximum effort in selling the 23-year-old left-back, a process that could be expedited if Forest allows Tavares to return to north London in the coming days.
With Marseille already expressing interest, a potential agreement with the French club seems imminent, putting Arsenal in a favorable position to make a significant signing during the January transfer window.
