Fulham have returned to talks for Arsenal defender Cedric Soares.
The 31-year-old is out of favour at the Emirates and has been linked with a move across London.
Therefore, the ex-Southampton man is hoping to leave the club before the end of the month.
And Football.London claim that he's moved a step closer to joining Fulham with talks now underway.
But the report states that Mikel Arteta is hesitant about letting him leave with the Arsenal boss viewing him as a key player in the squad despite his lack of game-time.
Cedric's Emirates contract has 18 months left with his deal expiring in the summer of 2024.
