A number of Arsenal fans have waxed lyrical about Nuno Tavares following his superb display for the Gunners against Leicester on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta’s charges made it nine games unbeaten in all competitions by running out 2-0 winners over the Foxes.

Arsenal needed just five minutes to take the lead as Gabriel Magalhaes headed home Bukayo Saka’s corner.

Emile Smith Rowe then capitalised on some poor Leicester defending to steer past Kasper Schmeichel in the 18th minute.

Aaron Ramsdale was instrumental to the victory as he pulled off some superb saves, including a world-class stop to thwart a James Maddison free kick.

Likewise, Ben White impressed alongside Gabriel at centre-back, while Takehiro Tomiyasu shone on the right side.

But plenty of Arsenal fans were delighted with Tavares’ display given he’s doing a superb job deputising for Kieran Tierney.

The 21-year-old was a constant threat up the left flank, carrying the ball well, leading counter-attacks with his pace, and picking the right pass at the end of his runs.

And for £8million, he’s proving to be an absolute bargain, impressing in the Premier League at just 21, and with plenty of room to develop.

Here is what some Arsenal fans made of Tavares’ display against Leicester:
