Arsenal are hopeful of securing the exit of a fringe full-back this summer.

The likes of West Ham and Galatasaray are trailing Nuno Tavares for a permanent transfer.

TuttoMercatoWeb in Italy states that the young Portugal Under-21 international will depart Arsenal this summer.

Tavares is valued at a huge £21 million, considering he was on loan at Marseille last term and struggled in the Premier League the year before.

However, West Ham boss David Moyes is an admirer, while Marseille may even want to secure him permanently.

The Gunners will be hoping for a bidding war that gets them a higher fee for their youngster.
