Nuno Albertino Varela Tavares (born 26 January 2000) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Ligue 1 club Marseille, on loan from Premier League club Arsenal.

Club career

Benfica

Born in Lisbon of Cape Verdean descent, Tavares finished his development with Benfica after three years at city rivals Sporting CP and two stints with Casa Pia.[3][4][5] He made his senior debut with the former's reserves in the LigaPro, his first match being a 3–2 home win against Covilhã on 27 October 2018.[6]

Tavares made his debut with the first team on 4 August 2019, playing 90 minutes in the 5–0 victory over Sporting in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira at the Estádio Algarve.[7] He played his first game in the Primeira Liga the following week, opening an eventual 5–0 home defeat of Paços de Ferreira and adding two assists.[8]

During his spell at the club, Tavares made 41 competitive appearances.[9]

Arsenal

On 10 July 2021, Tavares joined Arsenal on a long-term contract in a deal worth around £8 million.[10][11] He made his Premier League debut on 13 August, coming on as a late substitute for Calum Chambers in a 2–0 away defeat to Brentford.[12] He scored his first goal on 23 April 2022, through a calm tap-in after David de Gea had saved Bukayo Saka's curl in the third minute of an eventual 3–1 home win against Manchester United.[13]

On 30 July 2022, Tavares moved to Ligue 1 club Marseille on a season-long loan.[14] He scored on his debut, a 4–1 home victory over Reims.[15]

International career

Tavares won his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level on 10 September 2019, in a 2–0 win in Belarus for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[16] On 7 October 2021, against Liechtenstein in the next edition, he scored the first goal in the 11–0 rout in Vizela.[17]

Media

Tavares was involved in the Amazon Original sports docuseries All or Nothing: Arsenal, which documented the club by spending time with the coaching staff and players behind the scenes both on and off the field throughout their 2021–22 season.[18][19]
