Serie A outfit Atalanta are mounting a concerted push for the signature of Mikel Arteta\u2019s Arsenal backline, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The defender in the sights of La Dea with a view to the new campaign? Nuno Tavares.<\/p>\n

The summer, to date, has of course seen Portuguese youth international Tavares hotly tipped for an Emirates exit, just 12 months on from his arrival at the club.<\/p>\n

This comes with the 22-year-old\u2019s struggles in filling in for the so often sidelined Kieran Tierney during his debut campaign in north London having forced Arsenal back into the market for left-back reinforcements.<\/p>\n

With a deal having this week been struck with Manchester City for Oleksandr Zinchenko, the understanding, in turn, is that Tavares will be granted a departure over the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And now, it appears as though Atalanta have positioned themselves at the front of the queue.<\/p>\n

As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Bergamo-based outfit \u2018want this man as their new left-back\u2019. The powers that be at the Gewiss Stadium have therefore begun \u2018pushing\u2019 to get a deal over the line.<\/p>\n

It is reiterated, though, that an agreement is yet to be found between the two parties, with Arsenal having made clear that their demands for Tavares must be met.<\/p>\n

Brighton & Hove Albion, meanwhile, are too keeping a close eye on the situation, amid Marc Cucurella\u2019s ongoing Manchester City links.<\/p>\n

? @FabrizioRomano<\/a> on Tavares: \u201cAtlanta want this man as their new left-back \u2013 Brighton are interested, but Atlanta are really pushing in the last hours, but there is still no agreement. Arsenal always want their conditions to be respected.\u201d [@QueGolazoPod<\/a>] #afc<\/a><\/p>\n
