Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares has had the perfect start to life in Marseille by scoring on his Ligue 1 debut for the club in victory over Reims. OM ran out 4-1 winners in their league opener, giving them a perfect start to try and close the gap on Paris Saint-Germain this season - having finished second but by some distance last time out.
The French side are no stranger to signing players from the Gunners, taking on Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba on loan in the past season. Both impressed for the side, with the former signing a permanent deal and the latter returning to the Emirates Stadium with a bigger role in mind.
The 21-year-old defender went on to win Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year and also earned a call-up to the French senior national team squad. Marseille were so impressed that they tried to make a move for the centre-back and while it was unsuccessful, president Pablo Longoria was full of praise for the Gunners.
