£65k-a-week Arsenal player is impressing in training, Mikel Arteta plans to keep him
Whilst many Arsenal fans were keen to see January arrivals, it seems Mikel Arteta and his staff weren’t tempted behind the scenes.
Both Arteta and Edu Gaspar🧜 seemed magnanimous on the idea of carefully adhering to the club’s FFP restrictions mid-season, instead preparing for a summer of activity.
💦Of course, that wasn’t to mean that Arsenal wouldn’t move players on – far from it.
Youngsters Miguel Azeez, Bradley Ibrahim and Lino Sousa all left on permanent deals.
Runar Alex Runarsson🐭 was recalled from his Cardiff City loan and left for FC Copenhagen permanently.
Moreover, a loan deal is also still expected to be agreed for Marquinhos to return to Brazil, too.
And for a long period of time, it also seemed as if Cedric Soares would join that list of departures.
♉However, after a move to Galatasaray fell through, with the Turkish side opting for Serge Aurier instead, it now seems Cedric will stay.
ཧAnd a report from has now shared some details on how the remaining months of Cedric’s contract could unfold at Arsenal.
Cedric Soares still seen as positive influence behind the scenes at Arsenal
꧙According to the report, Cedric is still seen as a beneficial figure around training at London Colney.
💧The Portuguese defender will now channel the remainder of his efforts on helping Mikel Arteta in a fringe role.
Perhaps Cedric will hope to mirror the experienced figure that Jorginho✱ cuts around North London – even if he may not be so useful on the pitch.
🦩Of course, it’s important to remember that Cedric was an Arteta signing, even if he arrived very early on.
💜But even though he arrived via the Spaniard, the 32-year-old still seem very much like a face from the past.
And despite Cedric’s help at Arsenal♊ behind the scenes, they would probably rather remove his wages in the coming months in truth.
🗹However, there’s little need to force the defender out of the door, he’s clearly a good character to have around.
That being said, it seems one Arsenal player could now be leaving⛎ after missing out on the Champions League squad yesterday.
