Nuno Tavares has come under recent scrutiny at Arsenal in the last few matches since coming in to replace the injured Kieran Tierney. The Portuguese youth international scored against Manchester United but has looked vulnerable defensively.
It is also the understanding of football.london that Arsenal have a genuine interest in Bologna’s 19-year-old Scottish left-back Aaron Hickey. The young player is highly rated and is versatile enough to play on both sides having a great ability with both feet.
Tavares’ first season has been up and down with a strong start in games against the likes of Leicester City, Aston Villa and Newcastle, but faced challenges in 2022. football.london spoke exclusively to Tavares’ former youth coach when he was at Benfica, Joao Tralhao.
