Nuno Tavares is set to follow in the footsteps of Matteo Guendouzi and William Saliba with a loan move to Marseille close to being completed.
The left-back moved to Arsenal last summer but has been unable to establish himself at the Emirates with some error-strewn performances hampering his ambitions. In order to further his development a move to the south of France is now on the cards.
Tavares will be far from the first Gunners star to move to the Stade Velodrome - and it will be on him to decide which course of action his permanent employers take this time next year. Guendouzi and Saliba both spent periods at Marseille, albeit for different reasons.
