Another Departure From Arsenal<\/span><\/h3>\n

Arsenal have made an official announcement<\/a> of <\/span>Tavares’<\/span> exit. It will be a season-long loan move that will become permanent if particular sporting conditions <\/span>are met<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to The <\/span>Telegraph’s<\/span> Sam Dean<\/span><\/a>, Arsenal will receive around \u00a37 million. The deal will also include a sell-on clause of more than 25%. Should Lazio decide to sell Tavares in the future, this will bring in a few million pounds for Arsenal and help recoup the money they spent to buy him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tavares will rejoin former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi at Lazio after the pair played together for Marseille in the 2022\/23 season. The “aggressive”<\/a> defender is the latest senior player to leave Arsenal this summer after Albert Sambi Lokonga<\/a>, Mohamed Elneny, and Cedric Soares.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Did <\/span>Tavares\u2019<\/span> Time at Arsenal Turn Out?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tavares joined the club from Benfica in 2021 for \u00a38 million. Though his Arsenal career <\/span>isn’t<\/span> one<\/span> worth remembering, there were a few highlights, both good and bad, from his spell at the Emirates.<\/span><\/p>\n

When <\/span>his departure was confirmed<\/span>, fans on social media thanked him for his league goal against rivals Manchester United in April 2022. The goal propelled Arsenal to a 3-1 win as they <\/span>were fighting<\/span> for a Champions League spot that season.<\/span><\/p>\n

His <\/span>early substitution<\/span> during an FA Cup clash against Nottingham Forest was another talking point. <\/span>The 24-year-old was taken off<\/span> in the 34th minute for tactical reasons, and he expressed his frustration by throwing his gloves away as he came off.<\/span><\/p>\n

He made just 28 appearances for the Gunners as he spent a <\/span>couple of<\/span> seasons away on loan. The Portuguese featured for Marseille in 2022\/23, where he scored six league goals, an impressive stat for a defender. However, his <\/span>attitude <\/span>let him down<\/span>\u00a0and eventually, the Ligue 1 club decided not to sign him. A loan move to Nottingham Forest followed in 2023\/24.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
