Nottingham Forest are once again looking at Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares.

The Premier League club are eager to sign a defender before the transfer window closes.

Per The Mail, signing Tavares on loan appeals to Forest, as the left-back is admired by coach Steve Cooper.

The 23-year-old is one who Arsenal are happy to lose, but ideally on a permanent deal.

The Gunners want to raise funds after a massive spending spree earlier this summer.

Forest would be happier with a loan deal for the former Benfica star, who has not played yet this season for Arsenal.
