Arsenal defender could end up at Fulham in January

Arsenal defender Cedric Soares could end up joining Fulham during the January transfer window.

The Portuguese has fallen down the pecking order and he is currently the third-choice right-back behind Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

He decided to fight for his place last summer, but it appears he could be on the move when the transfer window reopens in less than two months.

According to Calciomercato, the right-back has already opened talks with the Cottagers and he could make the switch at the turn of the year.

Villarreal and Bayer Leverkusen are also interested in signing him, but Soares prefers to continue in the Premier League with Marco Silva's side.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have a big decision to make over Reiss Nelson whose deal with the club concludes at the end of the current season.

Nelson recently starred against Nottingham Forest with two goals and an assist. The Gunners may decide to keep him as a back-up winger in the squad.
