Fulham reported to be interested in Arsenal defender Cedric Soares with Tuttomercatoweb reporting that his agent has already spoken to Fulham about a potential move to Craven Cottage.
It has been a frustrating season for the Portuguese so far. He has only made two appearances in the Premier League, with Mikel Arteta turning Ben White into an outstanding right-back.
Unsurprisingly, there is a chance that he could leave the club when the window opens.
Tuttomercatoweb reports that the Gunners defender is wanted by three clubs. As well as Fulham; Bayer Leverkusen and Villarreal are also keen on the former Southampton man.
It also makes some sense for Arsenal to let him go in January.
He is third-choice at right-back, and probably down in fourth, at least, on the opposite flank. So should he stay, there is a very good chance that he will play little more in the second-half of the campaign.
He may be a smart signing for Fulham. Marco Silva has done an excellent job, particularly since the Cottagers sealed promotion back to the Premier League.
Cedric would just bring that little more experience at the highest level. Fulham have also had Bobby Decordova-Reid playing in that area of the pitch at times this season.
Arteta may be wary of moving any players on while things are going so well. But in truth, it does appear that the Gunners may need one or two more marquee additions to really boost their hopes in the title race.
