ARSENAL ace Nuno Tavares is set to join Marseille on a season-long loan without an option to buy.
That is according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims the two clubs have reach a "full agreement" and Tavares, 22, will undergo a medical on Friday.

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

Romano tweeted: "Nuno Tavares set to join Olympique Marseille, medical tests on Friday.
"Arsenal and OM have full agreement on loan deal, no buy option included.
"Final check to the contracts in the afternoon then it will be signed. Here we go."
Brighton recently joined the bidding war for Tavares as they asked for the potential conditions for a deal but it looks like they missed out.
