Arsenal outcast Cedric Soares 'could join Fulham on loan in January' after falling out of favour under Mikel Arteta, with Marco Silva's side 'leading the race to sign the right-back ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and Villarreal'

Fulham are reportedly leading the race to sign Cedric Soares on loan from Arsenal in the January transfer window.

The 31-year-old has only made two Premier League appearances for the Gunners this season after falling further behind in Mikel Arteta's pecking order following Ben White's recent move to right-back.

With Takehiro Tomiyasu also an option in the position, Cedric has found first-team minutes few and far between this term, meaning a January switch could be the best solution for all parties.
