Nuno Tavares makes record-breaking start at Lazio after leaving Arsenal as his asking price skyrockets
Nuno Tavares has managed to get his dwindling career back on track at Lazio after leaving Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
After a poor outing at Nottingham Forest last season, Tavares left Arsenal permanently to join Lazio on an initial loan deal with an obligation to ༺buy for £7.5m if certain conditi✃ons are met.
And the 24-year-old has taken to his new club like a fish to water, with Lazio president Claudio Lotito making an 🌜incredible claim on his potential transfer value in the future.
Nuno Tavares continues to shine after leaving Arsenal for Lazio
Tavares has been outstanding for his new club and recorded two assists on his Serie A d🌄ebut for Lazio in the 2-2 draw against AC Milan.
He also racked up assists in subsequent games against Fiorentina and 💖To⛎rino to become the first player in history to get four assists in as many games since Opta began collecting data.
Amid the former Arsenal defender’s f༒ine run of form🀅, Lazio president Lotito was asked if he would sell Tavares in the upcoming transfer window, to which his answer was a resounding no.
🉐He said (quotes via ): “Already a capital gain? I won’t sell him even for €70m. We have beaten off a lot of competition from the big clubs for the fullback.”
Lotito also s♏ang Tavares’ praises earlier this season, describing the defender as his best sign♌ing of the summer as he snapped him up from Arsena♒l for a bargain fee.
Tavares’ stats at Lazio
After his debut against Milan, Tavares has made the left-back spot his own and recorded seven assists in Serie A, emerging as the highest assist-provider across Europe’s top five lea🐈gues this🍒 season.
Arsenal won’t be losing too much sleep as they are well covered at left-back, with Kieran Tierney, Riccardo Cala✱fiori, Jurrie♒n Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko all capable of playing in that position.
However, it goes without saying that Lazio nabbed Tavares for a cut-price fee, with the 24-year-old more than justifying his price tag with a series of outs𒐪tanding performances so🧔 far.
