Marseille are keen to sign defender Nuno Tavares on loan and Arsenal will consider sanctioning his exit if they manage to recruit in that area, according to a report from The Athletic.
The Portugal youngster only joined the Gunners last season but the club are said to be open to the idea of allowing him to leave temporarily. However, they have to bring in further cover in his position before that can happen, with Ajax's Lisandro Martinez believed to be at the very top of their wish list.
Martinez, who sees his contract at The Johan Cruyff Arena expire in 2025, is said to be keen to pen a deal at the Emirates Stadium although reports claim that the Dutch giants have already rejected a €30million (£25.8m) bid from Edu.
