"The 25-year-old has done quite well since leaving Arsenal permanently, and his performances have attracted the attention of the London club. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea follows up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. They could use more depth in the left back department, and Tavares could be a useful addition."
"The defender might feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League. Tavares failed to make his mark at Arsenal and left the club after just 28 appearances. The opportunity to return could be exciting for him. In addition to that, Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world. The opportunity to play for them can be hard down for most players."
Nuno Tavares has impressed since leaving Arsenal permanently and attracted Chelsea's interest. Lazio value the 25-year-old at 50 million per reports, which could be a major obstacle to any transfer. Chelsea could use additional left-back depth and Tavares offers Premier League familiarity after 28 appearances for Arsenal. He has regained form with regular football in Italy and could make an immediate impact if recruited. A return to England could appeal as unfinished business and as a chance to compete for trophies with a bigger club. Any move will hinge on Lazio's willingness to negotiate and Chelsea's readiness to meet the asking price.
