Nuno Tavares slams Arsenal and claims he was refused option to leave permanently

Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares has revealed that he wanted the option to leave the club permanently as he sealed a loan move to Marseille.

The Portuguese defender joined the Ligue 1 giants on a season-long deal after a tricky debut season at the Emirates Stadium. He has enjoyed a bright start to life at the Orange Velodrome having been named in the starting XI for five out of the club’s six opening games of the season.

Tavares has also got a taste for goals during his brief time in France so far having netted three goals already - the most recent coming in a 3-0 cruise against OGC Nice.
