Nuno Tavares’ transfer to Nottingham Forest from Arsenal is currently anticipated to be finalized.
The Reds’ search for a new left-back is running out of time, but they are increasingly optimistic about the young Portuguese player.
Tavares is reportedly back on the City Ground’s radar as Steve Cooper works to assemble his team ahead of Friday night’s transfer deadline, according to the Daily Mail. Aston Villa entered the conversation after the club and the 23-year-old had been in discussions.
Tavares joined Arsenal in 2021 after leaving Benfica. At the Emirates Stadium, he has had trouble getting into routine games, and Mikel Arteta is willing to offload the player now if the Gunners can get a good deal.
Another left-back is needed for Forest. Ola Aina has played in that position for the team in two of its three Premier League games, although it’s possible that this season he’s been seen as a utility player rather than a contender for the job.
The signing of Renan Lodi by Marseille earlier in the summer startled the Reds, despite interest from Forest. Coincidentally, Tavares, who scored six goals while on loan with the Ligue 1 team in 2022–23, has been replaced.
