Cedric Soares got his Arsenal career off to a flying start!
The former Southampton defender was signed for a meager fee by the Gunners in the winter market of 2020. However, a long injury lay off meant that Soares could only make his debut this month.
His start was one to remember though as with one of his first touches for the club, he slammed home a long ranger into the bottom corner.
Having started off really well, Soares has now spoken of the competition at Arsenal to dislodge Bellerin from the first team position at right-back.
“It’s a healthy competition. I knew Hector from before and we are supporting each other,” Cedric told reporters on the battle he faces to earn competitive minutes. “Right now everyone is getting an opportunity to play. This is what the team needs.
“It’s most important to get the win whoever is playing. I am here to give my best for Arsenal.
“Of course there were moments when you get frustrated and upset [because you are not fit]. I’m the kind of guy that is very very passionate so everything I do in life I try to give 100 percent.
“I came here with all my heart so of course, I wasn’t happy with the injuries that happened in training, but it happened because I gave 100 percent and things will happen sometimes.
“How you come back is the most important thing and I have had very good support from all the medical staff, from my colleagues and from the technical coaches.”
