Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Portuguese left back Nuno Tavares on a long-term deal.
The Gunners' first summer signing began his footballing career with Portuguese giants Benfica, making his first-team debut as an 18-year-old in October 2018 before going on to make an additional 40 appearances for The Eagles, an impressive feat considering they also employ talented Spanish full back, Alex Grimaldo.
Since his debut, Tavares has made noticeable improvements to his game and has quickly established himself as one of Portugal's most talented young defenders.
Defensive prowess
The 21-year-old has displayed remarkable versatility in defence since he broke on to the scene with Benfica.
