Arsenal confirmed the addition of Southampton defender Cedric Soares on Friday morning.Ahead of a busy deadline day for clubs around the country, the Portuguese signed on loan for the rest of the season.Commenting on his move, he told the club’s website: “It feels amazing. It’s a dream come true being here, and being able to play for Arsenal is unreal.”However, following his arrival in north London, it looks as though the rest of the day will be a quiet one for Mikel Arteta, Edu and co.Taking to Twitter, journalist Sam Dean suggested that was it in terms of transfer business. He said:
While this will come as a shame, it makes sense given what Arsenal had to work with in the current window.
What could’ve been… Can you name the clubs these football legends almost joined?
They targeted loan deals and defensive reinforcements, adding not only Cedric but also bringing in Pablo Mari from Flamengo on a temporary basis.
Neither are the most eye-catching of captures, but they could have a pivotal role to play in adding greater depth to Arsenal’s defence.
