Arsenal sent Nuno Tavares out on loan to Lazio this summer as he was no longer considered a good fit for the team.
The Portuguese left-back struggled for relevance at the Emirates, leading the Gunners to decide to offload him this summer.
Lazio has an obligation to sign him next year if certain conditions are met, and Tavares is delighted with the opportunity to play regularly and prove his worth.
The left-back has already made a strong start at the club, demonstrating his talents in his first start over the weekend.
After working his way into the team, Tavares provided two assists in Lazio’s 2-2 draw against AC Milan.
His impressive debut has likely secured him a spot in the starting lineup, and the Italian media outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport heaped praise on him.
They noted that it has been a very long time since Lazio had a left-back deliver such an outstanding performance.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Tavares’ good form is a good thing for us because it makes it easier for Lazio to trigger the clause to sign him permanently, so we hope he is consistent enough for that.
We wish him the best of luck for the remaining weeks of the season and hopefully, he will not disappoint.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

He started off well with us, then tailed off. He then started off well at Marseille, then tailed off. He started off well for Lazio… I wonder if the pattern will continue. Hope not.
My impression of him when he was with us is that he had some incredible skills but had trouble dealing with his limitations. Thus, he was very inconsistent. With maturity (now 24) he may finally be coming into his own now with his football experience/intelligence catching up with what I thought were his superior physical abilities. I believe there is a sell-on clause in their obligation to buy at end of loan deal.
If there is no sell-on clause, that’s horrible. He will probabaly do well this time around if he stays injury-free
Am in agreement with the two post above.
This troubled kid has a reputation of starting off strong, but he’s like a cow that gives a bucket of milk and kick it right over in a flash.
Surely he has been humbled some what by the repercussions of his transgressions and may finally comes into his own, for his own good and Arsenal by extention he finally redeem himself.
It’s good an arsenal player deliver best of his ability and performed as per his new club requirements
wish good luck to him and his club to acquire best
