Cedric Soares will complete his loan move to Fulham by the end of this week, football.london understands. The Portuguese international will swap north London for west in a deal that will last six months and contains no obligation or option to buy.
Fulham are set to cover his wages which are estimated to be in the region of £100,000-per-week. Marco Silva was keen to bring in some experience and versatility into his backline and views Cedric as the perfect man for this.
The 31-year-old knows Silva well having worked under him in Portugal at Sporting. The deal will mark Arsenal's first senior exit of the January transfer window.
