Nuno Tavares names Arsenal players he admire

 


Arsenal’s new signing, Nuno Tavares, has named two players he admired at the club.

DAILY POST reports that Tavares officially joined Arsenal from Benfica on Saturday.

When asked to name the Arsenal players he admires, the Portugal defender told the Gunners’ website that he likes Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.

Tavares said, “In the present, I like [Emile Smith Rowe], because he is my generation.

“He’s played against us, on the same side – he played on the right, I played on the left – for the selection (youth) team. He’s a good player, and I see [Bukayo] Saka too.”

He added, “Young players, good players. And from the past I like Henry. A very good player, and it’s good for me to remember that story.”

Tavares will hope to break into Mikel Arteta’s first team when the 2021/22 season starts.
