🚨 In a move fans are calling “karma from the top,” Arsenal have finally binned the player who reportedly drove Mikel Arteta up the wall—and it happened just a day after five other brutal exits.
The Gunners’ exodus continues as Nuno Tavares, the once-hyped left-back, was offloaded permanently to Lazio after three chaotic loan spells and mounting tensions with both Arsenal and Marseille coaching staff.
“He often annoyed Arteta and his staff in training,” reported L’Equipe—and it wasn’t just once. The outlet also revealed he was sent back to the dressing room during training at Marseille for the same disruptive attitude.
Despite his flashes of attacking brilliance, including 8 assists in Serie A this season and 6 goals for Marseille, it was the drama off the pitch that sealed his fate.
📉 “He annoyed everyone,” a fan raged online. “Good riddance.”
Arsenal have been ruthless this week. In addition to Tavares, the club axed five others: Jorginho, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, and Kieran Tierney are all out as contracts end, while Raheem Sterling and Neto return to Chelsea and Bournemouth respectively.
Talks are still ongoing with Thomas Partey, whom Arteta reportedly wants to keep. On the women’s side, Chloe Kelly remains in limbo with her loan from Manchester City expiring soon.
🔁 Meanwhile, Lazio snapped up Tavares for £7.5 million thanks to a smart loan clause, with Arsenal still poised to profit from a sell-on.
This mass clear-out marks one of the boldest overhauls under Arteta—and fans are left wondering: Who’s next?
