Arsenal complete signing of Cedric Soares from Southampton.

 Arsenal have completed the signing of Cedric Soares on a six-month loan from Southampton
 Arsenal have completed the signing of Portugal defender Cedric Soares from Southampton.
The 28-year-old has joined Mikel Arteta's side on loan until the end of the season but he only has six months remaining on his contract at Southampton.
He will compete alongside Hector Bellerin for the right-back slot with the Gunners and revealed he nearly joined the club previously in his career, but did not specify when.
This has been the expectation of  so many fans, they have demanded for a proper cover for the right full back instead of using Niles in the wrong position which has cost the team some few times.

'We were close a few years ago, so it's not the first time,' Cedric said upon the completion of his move. 'It didn't happen that time but now thank God it came true. I'm super happy. 
'It was important for me in my career to come here. Southampton gave me the opportunity to play in the Premier League but obviously it's amazing this step, to come here and play for Arsenal. 
'To be able to reach this point is unbelievable. I try to be a guy with energy, a player that goes up and down. 
'I like to consider myself a team player and yes, what can I say? It's difficult when you need to talk about yourself! But again, I will give my 100 per cent for the team and for the fans.'
Arsenal technical director Edu said: 'Cedric is a defender with good experience of the Premier League, and of course at international level. 
'He is another strong addition to our defensive unit who will provide our squad with quality. I know he is a player who plays with absolute full commitment and energy. 
'We are all looking forward to going into the last stages of the season with Cedric as part of the club.'
Arsenal are in action away to Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.
Cedric made 138 appearances for Southampton after joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2015, scoring three goals.

Arsenal anchorman Matteo Guendouzi has made a switch to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Frenchman hasn’t played for Mikel Arteta’s side since a 2-1 loss to Brighton in June, during which he was involved in a fracas with Neal Maupay. The Frenchman has joined the Gunners from Ligue 1 outfits Lorient back in 2018, having started his career in the academy of PSG. He has played 82 games for the North London club, however, has not been in the matchday squad this campaign. He featured regularly under head-coach Unai Emery in his debut campaign back in 2018-19, playing in 33 of the Gunners 38 Premier League games. He was also a regular fixture in the side for the first half of last campaign, however, featured far less following the appointment of Mikel Arteta back in December 2019. In the game at Brighton – the Gunners second following the post-lockdown restart – he had to be pulled away from Maupay during a confrontation between both sets of play...

Why Debuchy is perfect replacement for Sagna at Arsenal

Full-back's departure was a blow but the Newcastle star's experience, defensive qualities, aerial ability and winning mentality mark him out as a worthy successor ANALYSIS By Liam Twomey In previous years, the departure of a club stalwart might have sparked talk of crisis at Arsenal . But Arsene Wenger has acted quickly in the wake of Bacary Sagna 's defection to Manchester City , with Newcastle right-back Mathieu Debuchy set to be unveiled as a Gunner before the end of the week in a deal worth an initial £8 million . Setback though it was, the protracted nature of Sagna's departure from the Emirates Stadium afforded Wenger ample time to plan for a future without him. Sebastian Jung of Eintracht Frankfurt became a target as far back as January , while talks with Toulouse over Serge Aurier reached a very advanced stage . But as Debuchy makes his final preparations for life in north London, Wenger can be confident that he has secured a very profic...
