Arsenal -defender Nuno Tavares has completed a permanent transfer to Lazio for a reported £ 6 million, three years after his last performance in front of Mikel Arteta.
The 25-year-old moved to the Emirates from Benfica in the summer of 2021 and made 28 performances in all competitions during his debut season and once scored in a 3-1 win against Manchester United.
A part of a side that finished fifth, barely abused the qualification for the Champions League and laid the foundation for title challenges that came in the following seasons, he was eventually overrun about the requirements in the light of the competition of Oleksr Zinchenko, who came to Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Tavares spent the following three seasons on loan in Marseille, Nottingham Forest and Lazio, with whom he has now signed a three -year deal.
He registered nine competition assists for the Rome side when they finished seventh in Serie A last season and earned his first Senior International Cap for Portugal in November in a 5-1 Nations League victory over Poland.
In a statement, the Gunners said: “Everyone at Arsenal wants to thank Nuno for his contribution to the club and wish him the very best for the future.”
