Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has told GiveMeSport that Fulham could make a move again for Arsenal defender Cedric Soares late in the January transfer window.
Sheth has said that Fulham want to sign Cedric Soares, but their initial attempt to bring the Arsenal defender to Craven Cottage was not successful.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has said that the Cottagers could make a move again for the 31-year-old full-back later in the window, adding that the £75,000-a-week Portugal international full-back (Spotrac) could decide to leave Arsenal.
Sheth told GiveMeSport: “I’m still trying to get a bit more information on this, he’s not featuring really in Arsenal’s games of late and I know Fulham were interested in him.
“The information I was getting on that one was yes, the interest was there, but not at the terms and the wages being quoted to them.
“I just wonder if Cedric Soares continues not to feature in the squads for Arsenal towards the end of the window, Fulham may then try their luck again and just say, ‘look, let’s take him on loan or let’s try and do a deal where we pay a portion of his wages because we want to bring him in’.”
Should Cedric Soares leave Arsenal for Fulham?
In our view, Cedric Soares should leave Arsenal for Fulham in the January transfer window if he wants to play regularly.
The 31-year-old is a peripheral figure at Arsenal at the moment, and that is not going to change anytime soon.
The Arsenal no. 17 has made only two substitute appearances in the Premier League and has made one substitute appearances in the UEFA Europa League so far this season.
The Portuguese star has also played once in the Carabao Cup for the Gunners so far this campaign.
Now, of course, Arsenal are aiming to win the Premier League title this season, and Cedric could think that he would be better off staying at the Emirates Stadium and getting a medal.
