Nuno Tavares has been sensational for Marseille since making the season-long loan move from Arsenal in the summer transfer window. And the youngster has a great chance to showcase his ability on the biggest stage on Wednesday evening.
Marseille are set to go head-to-head with the Gunners' local rivals Spurs in the opening Champions League group stage match of the season. After Tavares’ impressive start to life in France, it seems likely he will start the match.
It will be a perfect opportunity for Mikel Arteta to analyse the progression of the Portuguese defender, as he will be coming up against top Premier League opposition. It could also play a major part in raising his price tag if the Gunners’ boss still deems him surplus to requirements next summer.
