Cedric no Soar loser
MIKEL ARTETA has hailed Cedric Soares for refusing to give up on his Arsenal career and says he is an example to any fed-up outcast.
The re-emergence of the long-forgotten Gunners right-back has taken everyone by surprise.
But boss Arteta said: “It’s not a coincidence.
“When you have the professionalism, dedication, habits and, obviously, experience and qualities Cedric has – and you never give up – good things happen.
“He’s been patient, he’s been keeping quiet, he’s been working hard and accepting the situation.
“And when he’s had the chance, he’s done well.
“I think the player has to take all the credit – and his team-mates have to learn a lot about that option.“
