Tavares has also garnered interest from overseas, and while there’s some value in a young player gaining greater experience abroad, there’s nothing quite like the Premier League.

Time and time again we’ve seen talented young stars fail to make the grade in the English top-flight due to myriad factors. Tavares struggled in year one, but there’s certainly scope for him to blossom in north London.
