Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares is set for a medical with Olympique Marseille.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims the two clubs have reach a "full agreement" and Tavares, 22, will undergo a medical on Friday.

The left-back will join Marseille on loan until June but there will be no buy-out clause.

L'OM approached the Gunners after their recent negotiations with Atalanta "collapsed".

L'Equipe reported last week that the Ligue 1 giants pulled out of the bidding war because the full-back had doubts about moving to France.

However, Marseille have ultimately beaten competition from other teams, such as Brighton, for the Portugal Under-21 international.
