Newcastle, Porto target Cedric Soares makes Arsenal summer decision

Cedric Soares is reluctant to leave Arsenal this summer.

The Portugal fullback is interesting Porto and Newcastle United ahead of the close season transfer market.

But Football.London says the 30-year-old has reportedly been the subject of interest from Premier League side Newcastle, while Porto are interested in bringing him back to Portugal and have submitted a bid of around £4 million for him.

However, sources close to the player have revealed that no offers have come in at the time of writing. Cedric has consistently been linked with a move away from north London, however he only wants to stay with the Gunners.

The former Southampton right back was subject of interest from Atletico Madrid in the January transfer window as they looked to replace Kieran Trippier following his move to St. James' Park. However, he ended up staying with Arsenal following the January departures of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Calum Chambers.
