Arsenal seeks to strengthen its squad in the winter transfer market

The management of Arsenal is trying to take advantage of the final stretch of the winter transfer market to strengthen a squad that has had a rather inconsistent performance throughout the season. Currently, the Gunners are in the middle of the table, 10 points away from the qualifying positions for the next edition of the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta gives the green light for Cédric Soares

Although there are several positions that he would be delighted to strengthen, the new coach of the London team, Mikel Arteta, has given the green light to a last-minute offensive for Cédric Soares. The 28-year-old right-back has been playing for Southampton since 2015, although last season he spent half a season on loan at Inter Milan.

In addition to his physical and technical qualities, as well as his extensive experience in the Premier League, the Portuguese player is very interesting due to his contractual situation. Since his contract expires this summer, he could change clubs at a low price. Specifically, The Telegraph estimates his cost at just £6 million (about €7 million).
