Premier League: Nuno Tavares urges Arsenal to sell him to Marseille

Marseille – Nuno Tavares urged Arsenal to sell him to Marseille permanently in the next transfer window. Nuno Tavares actually expressed that desire when he agreed to be loaned to Marseille this summer.

Nuno Tavares’ future at Arsenal has been the subject of much speculation following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko. The presence of the Ukrainian player makes Nuno Tavares third in the left-back position after Kieran Tierney.

Arsenal finally loaned Nuno Tavares in the hope that the player can play a lot of minutes. Nuno Tavares until now does not understand the reason for Arsenal’s decision to loan him to Marseille.

“At Arsenal , I don’t know if it’s a matter of competition with Kieran Tierney. However, for me that’s not the point,” Nuno Tavares told French outlet RMC Sport .

Arsenal rejected

Nuno Tavares previously admitted that he and his agent wanted to include a purchase option at the end of the loan period. Unfortunately, this desire was countered by Arsenal .

“I came to Marseille to finally be able to play in my position. When I signed for Marseille, I wanted to have a purchase option. However, Arsenal refused,” said Nuno Tavares.

“My agent and I always wanted to include a purchase option, but Arsenal didn’t. Now I’m here with or without that option. I’m still happy. At Arsenal I might only play in the FA Cup and the English League Cup,” said Nuno Tavares.

Happy in Marseille

Nuno Tavares is enjoying his time at Marseille. Nuno Tavares is proud to be able to get a leading role at the club, unlike what he felt when he was at Arsena.

“I came to Marseille to play in my position in the Champions League, League and Domestic Cup. Marseille gave me this opportunity,” said Nuno Tavares.

Nuno Tavares has made six appearances for Marseille so far. Nuno Tavares also scored three goals for the French club.
