Failed soccer player from Arsenal finishes loan with new transfer to Italian club.

Nuno Tavares, the 24-year-old defender, has recently begun training with Lazio after moving away from Arsenal on a season-long loan. This marks his third loan spell since joining the Gunners from Benfica in 2021 for a transfer fee of £8m. In his first season with Arsenal, Tavares made 28 appearances in all competitions and showed promise on the field.

However, it seems that he did not quite win over manager Mikel Arteta as he has not played for the club since. Instead, he spent a season on loan at Marseille and the last campaign at Nottingham Forest. During his time with the French club, he made 39 appearances and scored six goals, which was a positive sign for his development. However, his stint at Forest was less successful, with only 12 appearances in all competitions.

Now, Tavares has made the move to Italy and his deal with Lazio includes an obligation for the club to buy him depending on certain sporting conditions. In a statement from Arsenal, they expressed their support for Tavares and his decision to gain valuable experience in Serie A and Italian football. They wished him all the best for the upcoming season with Lazio.

Tavares is one of three players who have left Arsenal on loan deals this summer, with Marquinhos and Sambi Lokonga also departing. Marquinhos, a defender, has returned to Brazil to play for Fluminense until January, while Lokonga, a midfielder, has joined Sevilla for the season. In addition, 21-year-old striker Mika Biereth has left the club on a permanent deal, moving to Sturm Graz for a fee of £4m after impressing on loan last season.

This summer has been a time of change for Arsenal, with several players leaving on loan or permanently.
