Arsenal have been warned why Brighton and Hove Albion could pull the plug on any proposed loan deal for Nuno Tavares. The 22-year-old defender has been heavily linked with an exit from the Emirates Stadium this summer after falling out of favour under Mikel Arteta.
Tavares, who only arrived in north London 12 months ago from Benfica, started just 13 times for the Gunners in the Premier League this season. And, despite his fluctuating performances, the Portugal youth international has courted the attention of several top-flight European clubs.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Atalanta are eager to sign the left-back on loan this summer. However, the Italian side face tough competition from the Seagulls.
