Fulham transfer news: Cedric Soares edging closer to move from Arsenal

Arsenal full-back Cedric Soares is moving closer to completing a move to Fulham.

The two clubs are in talks over a move for the 31-year-old - which may be a loan or permanent deal - and it could be agreed by the end of the week.

BBC Sport understands Cedric's £100,000-a-week wages are one of the issues holding up the deal.

Cedric, whose contract runs until 2024, has made two Premier League appearances for leaders Arsenal this season.

Fulham manager Marco Silva is keen to sign the defender to add experience and versatility to his squad.
