Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk is widely reported to be Arsenal's priority transfer target this winter, but Mikel Arteta could still strengthen his squad elsewhere.
That’s because Cedric Soares is attracting interest from a number of clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen and Villarreal, but it’s fellow Premier League side Fulham who are viewed as the current frontrunners after holding talks with his representatives, according to the Evening Standard.
It’s added that Arsenal and Fulham have not yet held any formal negotiations but it is understood that a loan with an obligation to buy is the most likely structure of any potential deal.
