One Arsenal player has now been spotted training with another club – before an exit from the Emirates Stadium has even been announced.

The club in question are clearly desperate to get him involved as quickly as possible, having already handed out training gear and started work on getting him integrated amongst his n𒅌ew teammates.

So, who has now stopped training with Arsenal to join a new club before an of�🍎�ficial announcement? Let’s take a look…

Nuno Tavares already training with Lazio

Arsenal No.20 Nuno Tavares has now been spotted training with Lazio.

Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that the man haꦛd signed a contract with the Italian giants ahead of a loan move for the 2024/25 campaign, albeit with an obligation for Lazio to buy him on a permanent basis next summer.

However, it seems as if Arsenal have forgotten to annou❀nce the departure of Tavares.

As you can see above, the 24-year-old is al🌳ready in Rome wearing Lazio colours, so we would presume an announcement is surely immin🏅ent.

24-year-old did not get to fight for his Arsenal future

Tavares recently shared a revealing in⭕terview with🌞 Record – where he made💖 some inspired comments about wanting to fight for his future at the Emirates St♑adium.

The man from Lisboa♒ said: “Yes, obviously, I have in mind to return to Arsenal and have a good pre-season. I will always do my best, as I have done in all pre-seasons, to have a placওe at the club.

“𝕴I always try to do my work in the best way. Then it’s up to the club to decide whether I’m a valid option or not, but I have a strong mentality. I know what I’m capable of. Sometimes things don’t depend on us, but my job is to focus on myself and do what I do best… I know my value and I do𒆙n’t let anything affect me. I trust my work.”

These comments were only made by Tavares a week ago, s🐷o Mikel Arteta had clearly already made a decision on the Portuguese defender, and had no intention of giving 🌠him another chance.
