Arsenal are considering sending left-back Nuno Tavares out on loan this summer as Mikel Arteta plans how to take his side to the next level in 2022/23.
With European football returning to the Emirates Stadium this season the pressure is on to ensure the Gunners strike the right balance in terms of squad depth. That will mean strengthening throughout the squad including in defence.
While Kieran Tierney has impressed since arriving from Celtic, injuries have hampered the Scot throughout his Arsenal career to date. Last season, that meant Tavares stepping in but the Portuguese frequently looked out of his depth when thrown into the starting XI.
