Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares has insisted that his loan spell at Marseille has improved his confidence following a tough first season in England.
Tavares, 22, featured 28 times in all competitions for Mikel Arteta's side last season, starting 17. However, he was the victim of a couple of tough moments in his debut campaign in North London, with him being substituted off after 35 minutes against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.
The Gunners allowed him to join Marseille on a season-long loan deal after the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City for £35 million. With Kieran Tierney already ahead of him at left-back, the Ukranian's signing meant seeking regular football elsewhere was the best option.
