Arsenal have been hunting for a new left-back since the January transfer window when Kolasinac and Maitland-Niles both left the club.

Sead Kolasinac rejoined Schalke04 on loan and Ainsley Maitland-Niles joined West Bromwich Albion.

Tavares will now fill in the vacuum left in Arsenal’s defence line after Kolasinac exit.

He will likely be a back-up for Kieran Tierney, who has been excluded from Arsenal’s squad since he got injured at the end of last season.

Tavares created 23 chances with 4 assists in 25 Benfica League matches out of which 17 were starts.

Tavares’ said, “I’m so excited because it is a big club and for me as a young guy, it is a pleasure to be here.”

“Nuno’s arrival will give the squad extra strength and options in defence, particularly with this energy on the left side of the pitch. “
