Arsenal defender Cedric Soares is set to stay at the club until the season ends.

The 32-year-old wanted to leave the club for regular football during the January transfer window.

However, The Standard states that he is now focused on helping the club as best as possible.

The veteran was hoping to get a move to a top European league, but nothing materialized.

Besiktas, Trabzonspor and Villarreal were the teams most often linked to his signature.

Now he will wait until the summer, when he will be a free agent who can sign for any team.
