Arsenal are said to be interested in signing Southampton’s Cedric Soares before deadline day.

Cedric Soares controls the ball during a Southampton FC training session at the Staplewood Campus on January 23, 2019 in Southampton, England.

Southampton fans do not appear to be too bothered about the potential of Cedric Soares leaving for Arsenal.

The Daily Telegraph suggest that Arsenal are after the right-back, as they look to strengthen their defence before the deadline.

Cedric has just six months left on his deal at Southampton, so he could be available at a cut price.

And Southampton supporters generally seem to be of the opinion that a move to Arsenal could suit everyone involved.

Arsenal have had issues at right-back this season, although Hector Bellerin’s return from injury has helped them more recently.

If Cedric was brought to Arsenal he would at least have Premier League experience, which could reduce the adjustment period needed.

Cedric would have a point to prove at Arsenal though, as his form at Southampton has dipped slightly in recent years.

Arsenal have improved under Mikel Arteta so far, but currently sit one place behind the Saints in the Premier League table.
