Arsenal is set to bring Benfica left-back, Nuno Tavares, to Emirates this summer. The Premier League club has made the first move in the race to sign Tavares from Benfica.
The Gunners view Tavares as a new backup to Kieran Tierney.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal has been in contact with the player’s agents, with Benfica hoping for £14.5 million.
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, is keen to add competition for Tierney at left-back after the Scotland international signed a new long-term contract with the North London club last week.
