Club career

Dijon

On 28 October 2017, Tavares became Dijon's all time leading goal scorer after heading in the only goal in the 1–0 Ligue 1 home victory over Nantes; it was his 56th goal for Dijon in all competitions and broke the previous Dijon record of 55 goals scored in all competitions held by Sebastián Ribas.[1][2] On 18 November 2017, Tavares scored twice in the 3–1 Ligue 1 home win over Troyes; it was the first Ligue 1 brace of his career and his second goal was the 100th Ligue 1 goal scored by Dijon, playing in just their third season in Ligue 1.[3] On 10 February 2018, Tavares scored twice as Dijon came from behind to beat OGC Nice 3–2 in a home Ligue 1 match; his brace brought his 2017–18 Ligue 1 goal tally to 9 in 15 matches, as many as he had scored in 35 Ligue 1 matches during the entire 2016–17 season.[4]
