Fotomac are reporting that Arsenal defender Cedric Soares is on the radar of Fenerbahce.
The Turkish club’s head coach Vítor Pereira reportedly wants to sign Cedric from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Pereira knows that his Portuguese compatriot can play on the right in a 3-4-3 formation and at right-back in a 4-4-2 system.
Could Arsenal sell Cedric Soares?
Cedric has not had the best of times at Arsenal and has had injury problems.
The 29-year-old is a right-back by trade, but the former Southampton star played at left-back when Kieran Tierney was on the sidelines last season.
The full-back made eight starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League and seven starts and two substitute appearances in the Europa League for the Gunners last season.
It is clear that Cedric is seen as a back-up.
Arsenal have signed left-back Nuno Tavares as cover for Tierney.
Hector Bellerin is the first-choice right-back at Arsenal, and there is speculation that the Gunners will offer him a new deal.
This means that Cedric will be a back-up to Bellerin.
Now, the Portuguese might want to be more than that, but Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is unlikely to let him go and leave himself short on right-backs.
