Igor Tudor will be thrilled with his start to life in France as his Marseille team has enjoyed their best-ever start in Frances top flight.

Nuno Tavares Profile

Nuno Tavares spent his youth years at Casa Pi and Sporting Lisbon before completing his development at the famous Benfica Campus, formerly known as Caixa Futebol Campus.

He left Benfica to join his current parent club, Arsenal, in 2021 and has been capped by Portugal at the U18, U19, and U21 levels.

In his last season at Benfica, the 2020/21 season, Tavares made forty-one senior appearances in all competitions, scoring once and completing seven assists.

This is what prompted Arsenal to pay £ 7 million for him in the summer of 2021.

Overall, he has made forty-seven appearances for Benfica and Arsenal and is now securing regular appearances for Marseille, having played in all eight league fixtures.

He stands at 60 and holds a lean build, weighs 75kgs and is physically strong with excellent pace and athletic ability, which is ideal for a modern-day full-back.
