Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has hinted at why he wanted to leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window amid competition with Kieran Tierney.
The Gunners allowed the Portuguese defender to join Marseille on a season-long loan deal in the summer after signing Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City in a £35million deal. Tavares struggled to show his true quality after signing from Benfica for £7million last year but is enjoying his time in Ligue 1 so far.
The 22-year-old would have likely been a third-choice left-back for Mikel Arteta this season after the arrival of Zinchenko, but Takehiro Tomiyasu has shown he is capable of filling in as cover when required. Arsenal are enjoying a stellar season and are currently top of the Premier League after nine games, but Tavares has insisted he 'feels good' at Marseille.
