It is unlikely that Nuno Tavares will continue his football with Marseille next season after an inconsistent loan spell in Ligue 1. The Portuguese youth international left the Gunners after just one season with Mikel Arteta and the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko significantly limited his chances of minutes.
Marseille continued their strong relationship with Arsenal that had already seen William Saliba succeed there on loan with Matteo Guendouzi and Sead Kolasinac moving permanently to join former Gunners star, Alexis Sanchez. However, unlike the Frenchman before him, Tavares has not shone in the same way and despite his six goals a reporter for RMC Sport Florent German said via Sport Witness that, “he is too inconsistent and that it is not going to work out.”
He added: “That is what is frustrating. You feel enormous potential in this player and we know that it’s a difficult position to sign someone who gives you so much offensively, but there are so many shortcomings and he’s an unreliable player.”
