Aston Villa are reportedly exploring the conditions of the potential transfer of Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares this summer.
The 23-year-old has struggled to establish himself at the Emirates Stadium so far, despite looking a promising young player when he first joined the Gunners.
Arsenal will likely feel that Tavares has not progressed as expected after his loan spell at Marseille last season, and a permanent exit now surely suits all parties.
See below as Fabrizio Romano says Aston Villa are the latest club looking into signing the Portuguese full-back, though personal terms have not yet been agreed with the player…

Villa could perhaps do with bringing in a new left-back, and there’s every chance that Tavares would be well suited to that level.
Arsenal have spent big on the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz this summer, so they’ll probably need to sell some players to balance the books before the transfer window comes to a close.
