Cedric Soares could yet be blocked from leaving Arsenal in January.

Football.London says Fulham, Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen were showing interest.

His future at the Emirates Stadium is unclear, with Takehiro Tomiyasu and White both Arteta's preferred choices at right-back.

However, with Arsenal finding themselves top of the Premier League table and challenging Manchester City for the title, Sky Sports says manager Mikel Arteta is keen to keep Cedric at the club unless he can bring in an alternative option.
