Galatasaray eye Arsenal defender as replacement for Sacha Boey
Turkish giants Galatasaray are interested in Arsenal defender Cedric Soares.
The Portuguese right-back is keen on a move away from north London this month in a bid to get regular game time.
Besiktas were believed to be at the front of the queue for Cedric, but sources have confirmed to me that Galatasaray have now joined the race for the 32-year-old.
The Super Lig outfit are expected to sell their first choice right-back, Sacha Boey, to Bayern Munich before the end of the transfer window and are currently looking at possible replacements.
And Cedric is a name on their list, with Galatasaray aware that Arsenal are open to allowing the defender leave on a permanent basis this month.
