Marseille are 'interested in potential loan move for Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares' which 'could be sanctioned if the Gunners can bolster their backline' with Ajax's £30m-rated defender Lisandro Martinez a target

Marseille are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares on loan.

The 22-year-old only arrived at the Emirates Stadium last summer and there is now a possibility that he could be sent out on loan if Arsenal can recruit in that area.

According to The Athletic, the Gunners would only be open to allowing him to leave on a temporary basis and a move to Marseille would provide him with Champions League football for the season after they finished as runners-up in Ligue 1 last season.

The north London side are currently pressing to sign Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez in a £30million deal and should the Argentine join, a move away for Tavares could be sanctioned.
