Former Arsenal player's impressive performances in Serie A leads to high value placed on him

Nuno Tavares, the Portuguese full-back, has been on an impressive run of form since joining Lazio from Arsenal. Despite only being on loan, the 24-year-old has already caught the attention of his new club with a huge price tag placed on him. Lazio had an obligation to buy him for a mere €5m, making it a promising deal for the Rome-based team.

Tavares' start with Lazio has been nothing short of exceptional. In his eight Serie A appearances, he has already recorded eight assists, including one in their recent 5-1 victory over Como. This attacking prowess is a testament to his talent, despite his young age and the fact that he has already played for several clubs, including Marseille, Nottingham Forest, and now Lazio.

After being signed by Arsenal from Benfica in 2021, Tavares has only made 28 appearances for the English club. However, it seems he has finally found a home at Lazio, with club president Claudio Lotito publicly stating that he has no intention of selling him, even for a whopping €70m. Lotito has also praised Tavares' skills, along with other new arrivals such as Taty Castellanos and Samuel Gigot.

But Lazio's ties to Arsenal do not end with Tavares. French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi, who is also on loan from Arsenal, has been a regular in the first team under coach Marco Baroni. With strong performances like the recent win over Como, Lazio has climbed to fifth in the table and is only six points behind league leaders Napoli.

As for Tavares, his time at Lazio looks promising and it seems he has finally found a place where he can thrive. With his skills and potential, it's no wonder that his new club is determined to hold onto him and not let him go, even for a hefty sum. As for Arsenal, they may have let go of a talented player too soon, but their focus now is on the present, with news, exclusives, and analysis available for fans to keep up with the latest updates.
