Arsenal full-back Nuno Tavares is set to join Marseille on a season-long loan deal.
The 22-year-old left-back is set to have a medical with the French side on Friday with an official announcement pending.
The Portuguese youth international, who started 13 Premier League games for the Gunners last season, saw a proposed move to Atalanta fall through at the start of the week.
The loan deal will not include an option for Igor Tudor's side to purchase Tavares, and the French club will pay his wages throughout the loan spell.
