Cedric Soares makes Arsenal transfer decision

Arsenal defender Cedric Soares won't push for a new challenge during this summer's transfer window.

The Portuguese has been a key player for the Gunners in recent months with regular right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu on the sidelines.

His performances have been a mixed bag, but manager Mikel Arteta continues to value his contribution on the playing field.

According to Goal, the former Southampton man has no plans of leaving the Gunners at the end of the ongoing campaign.

Newcastle United and Porto have been linked, but reports claim that Cedric is not considering the prospect of moving on.

He is currently contracted to the Gunners until the summer of 2024, and plans to stay put for at least one more season.

Meanwhile, the Gunners could still sell a right-back this summer. Hector Bellerin appears set for a permanent transfer.

He is currently at Real Betis on loan. The La Liga outfit have entered negotiations over a permanent deal worth €10m.
