Nottingham Forest have revived their bid to sign Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares on loan.
Talks for the 23-year-old looked to have collapsed last week with Aston Villa then showing an interest.

The Portuguese defender has not yet featured for Arsenal this season and does not appear to have a long-term future under Mikel Arteta.
Tavares arrived in north London in 2021 and spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Marseille.
