manager Arsene Wenger was close in the January window but the deal didn’t happen. The Frenchman has now been much more impressed with his performances and
will be making a bid around £5million, as per the reports.
Despite
of having a talented right-back Hector Bellerin in the ranks Wenger is still
eyeing to bring another right-back. Last
summer’s signing Mathieu Debuchy has also returned from his injury.
Meanwhile,
Bellerin is targeted by La Liga Champions Barcelona. However, the reports reveal
that he will not do the same as of Cesc Fabregas.
Cedric
Soares has recently rejected a new deal at the Portuguese outfit. He has one
year left on his current contract. Arrival of the Portuguese mean could mean a departure
of Bellerin from the other end.
Soares
who was born in Germany has been with Sporting Lisbon for the past 16 years. He
has also played for every level of Portugal.
Bundesliga
outfits Schalke and Wolfsburg are also said to be interested in his move.
