Arsenal could receive shock £13.2m windfall this summer | OneFootball

Arsenal could receive a surprise windfall during the summer transfer window.

Nuno Tavares signed for Lazio on loan from the Gunners last summer. The Serie A outfit included an obligation to buy for around £6.6 million in the deal.

Tavares has made an instant impact with nine assists from 23 outings, and Calciomercato claims the Gunners could benefit from a future transfer.

AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old as a replacement for Theo Hernandez, who they are resigned to losing at the end of the season.

Lazio are prepared to sell Tavares for £33m. If a transfer goes through, Arsenal will receive £13.2m due to a 40 percent sell-on clause.

Arsenal set for surprise windfall from future Tavares sale

Tavares struggled to cope with the higher intensity of the Premier League, but he has adapted well to Serie A, which is more tactical and less intense.

The Benfica graduate has made several goal contributions in a short period. He has also impressed with his dribbling, recoveries and duel-winning ability.

His rapid development in Serie A could boost Arsenal financially this summer.

The Gunners could be set for an unprecedented spending spree. Any incoming funds should improve their chances of bringing in their desired targets.

A marquee striker is the main priority for the Gunners, but they are also expected to invest in one or two defensive midfielders this summer.

The club are keen on signing Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich.

A versatile winger could be another target for the Gunners. With this in mind, any incoming funds would be helpful to compensate for some of the outlay.
