Arsenal news LIVE: Nuno Tavares HINTS exit plans, Nigel Winterburn EXCLUSIVE, Bodo/Glimt Europa League build up – latest

MARSEILLE loanee Nuno Tavares has hinted that he will quit parent club Arsenal to permanently join the French giants next summer.

Tavares, 22, has been enjoying a good loan spell in France and he said: “I came to Marseille to finally be able to play in my position.

“When signing with OM, I wanted to have an option to buy, but Arsenal refused.”

Meanwhile, Arsenal defender Nigel Winterburn expects the Gunners to finish in the top four but they must learn from their previous collapses to be title contenders.

Talking to SunSport, Winterburn mentioned: “It would be a huge disappointment if Arsenal finished outside the top four, with the start that they’ve had. 

“At the start of the season, I said that top four is what Arsenal need and they also needed a big run, if not two big runs in the cup competitions.” 

And Leandro Trossard could be the man to lead Arsenal to top four as the Gunners continue to be linked with the Brighton ace.
