An approach should be welcomed by Arsenal who are known to want tosellthe full-back this summer.
Tavares has previously ɾєⱱєɑłєԀ that he wouldpreferto stay in the Premier League if he were to leave the club.
And a Nottingham Forestapproachfor‘extraordinary’Tavares could be an amicable solution for all parties including Arsenal.
Arsenal are thought to want tooffloadseveral squad players before they move again with any incoming transfers.
Nottingham Forest are targeting a permanent Ԁєɑł for Arsenal’s Nuno Tavares
Anapproachfrom Nottingham Forest won’t be too much of a surprise given the defence shapes they’ve deployed under manager Steve Cooper.
Like we saw at the Emirates on Saturday – a game in which Nuno Tavares didn’t make the Arsenal squad, Forest did play with two wing-backs.
Tavares’ form was fairly inconsistent at Arsenal and that could be attributed to the role he played in.
Tavares has always faired better playing as a wing-back, a role that lєɴԀs itself to all the attacking qualities he has.
It was always felt like Tavares could improve defensively, something he may well have done during his year with Marseille.
And with all of the players Arsenal wanted tooffloadthis summer, it did seem that Tavares would attract strong interest.
At 23-years-old the defєɴԀer still has a lot of potential.
And if Nottingham Forest complete aԀєɑłwith Arsenal, they really could be onto a winner with Tavares.
