‘Say Goodbye, The Time Has Come’ – Pundit Tells Arsenal To Bin Star Player Contracted Until 202
Campbell has claimed “the time has come” for Cedric Soares to leave Arsenal.
Speaking exclusively, the former Gunners and Everton striker said the 30-year-old is “not the answer” at right-back and will likely leave in the summer window.
According to Football.London‘s Kaya Kaynak (7 February), the right-back is open to leaving the Emirates at the end of the season.
The 34-cap Portugal international has a contract at the Emirates runs until the summer of 2024.
When asked, Dylan Childs for his assessment of the Portugal international’s future, Campbell said:
“Cedric was brought in to try and sort out that right-back position but it didn’t quite happen for him. He’s had good games and bad games.
“Arsenal took a chance on him because he cost nothing. He has done OK but he is not the answer.
“Takehiro Tomiyasu has come in and you can see the difference immediately. Tomiyasu is big, strong, aggressive and athletic.
“Cedric has done OK but, the time has come to move him on and say goodbye.”

In total, the right-back has contributed one goal and four assists in 38 appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side.
