Marseille coach Tudor claims Arsenal loanee Tavares doesn't realise his qualities

Marseille manager Igor Tudor believes the sky is the limit for Nuno Tavares.

The Arsenal left-back has excelled so far during his loan spell with Marseille.

Tavares has scored three times in just seven Ligue 1 game

"He sometimes doesn't even realise his qualities," Tudor said.

"It is so hard to follow him when he accelerates. If he continues at this pace, he risks tormenting more than one Ligue 1 defence."

Speaking on his decision to loan Tavares, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said: "For Nuno's development, I think it's going to be really important [playing regularly].

"Obviously, we have recruited Oleks in that position and we have Kieran as well, which are two really strong players in that position, and we believe that Nuno's best solution was to do that."
