It has been an interesting week on and off the pitch for several members of this season's Arsenal loan army.
This perhaps applies to none of the 29-man strong group more so than Nuno Tavares. Either side of starting Marseille's 1-1 draw at home to Montpellier on Friday night he was tipped to be good enough to play for another European heavyweight after his spell in France comes to an end before reportedly being kicked out of a training session.
"He's still a young player but he has fantastic physical capacities," Marseille boss Igor Tudor stated. "He's got an outstanding ability to run. He could play at Real, at Barcelona, at Manchester City… he still needs to grow and progress, we talk a lot to him."
