It was reported on Friday that Nuno Tavares was heading to London and he was snapped at the Humberto Delgado airport getting ready for his flight.

Nuno Tavares has undergone his medical exams in Lisbon and spoken to Mikel Arteta ahead of his transfer to Arsenal this week.

Before finalising a deal for Nuno Tavares, Arsenal discussed a possible swap deal involving Matteo Guendouzi with Benfica.

Arsenal will settle the transfer of Nuno Tavares from Benfica in the next few hours, after major progress in the deal on Tuesday.

21-year-old left-back Nuno Tavares is set to join Arsenal from Benfica for €8m plus add-ons, according to a report.

In what was a busy day on the rumour front Arsenal appear to have found a back-up left back and seem to be closing out a deal for Albert Sambi Lokonga, too.

Arsenal have been in contact with the representatives of Benfica left-back Nuno Tavares according to reports, with one claiming a 5-year deal is 'agreed in principle'.
