Former Arsenal star Cedric Soares is closing in on a return to football after almost seven months without a club.
The Portuguese defender, 33, has agreed a three-month deal with Sao Paulo.

Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar and ex-Tottenham star Lucas Moura are in the Brazilian giants’ ranks.
Cedric was spotted at the Sao Paulo’s Morumbi Stadium on Thursday night, and has been using the club’s training facilities to keep his fitness up.
Should the former Southampton ace impress his new employers, his stay in Brazil‘s biggest city could be extended until the end of the year.
Cedric recently admitted to finding life as a free agent difficult. He said: “I think it’s too early now to retire.
TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW
“I’m fit and, thank God, I have had no serious injuries.”
Revealing he had turned down previous transfer offers, he added: “I wanted to immediately find a good project.
“I had some stuff in the beginning of the market which I didn’t take and then I had some things I was not really excited about.”
Cedric was one of 19 players to wave goodbye to the Emirates last summer, with Mohamed Elneny and goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo among other stars not offered a new contract.
Cedric Soares career so far
A brief look at Cedric Soares' club career to date...
Here is how SunSport rated the players’ performances.
DAVID RAYA – 8/10
Very little to do until the 63rd minute when he brilliantly tipped a deflected Matheus Cunha effort wide. He then stopped Rayan Ait-Nouri in a one-on-one in the 84th minute.
MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 6
Was having another fine game before being the victim of one of most ludicrous red cards in Prem history. His cynical trip was worthy of a yellow and nothing more.
WILLIAM SALIBA – 7
Arsenal just look so solid with him in this backline. A welcome return from a minor hamstring injury. Kept Cunha at bay.
GABRIEL – 7
Led from the front and put his body on the line. Constantly headed away from danger.
JURRIEN TIMBER – 6
Hit with some nasty challenges that required treatment – including one that had Joao Gomes sent off – but carried on playing and was resolute.
DECLAN RICE – 7
More of a goal threat than in recent weeks and stood up when Arsenal needed him.
THOMAS PARTEY – 7
Steady Eddie for most parts back in his favoured midfield position after spells at right-back this season. Displayed his importance to this side once more.
ETHAN NWANERI – 6
Unfortunately made way at half-time as a sacrificial lamb following Lewis-Skelly’s sending off. Was a lively, creative spark in the first-half.
LEANDRO TROSSARD – 5
In the absence of Bukayo Saka, the Belgian is on corner-taking duty, but his deliveries were woeful. A quiet afternoon that sums up why he is in and out of the team currently.
GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 6
Was lacking that clinical edge in the first half, but came up with the cross after the break that led to Arsenal’s vital opener.
KAI HAVERTZ – 7
Missed two glorious first half chances with his head and another in the second half, but worked tirelessly on his own – especially with Arsenal down to ten.
SUBS:
RICCARDO CALAFIORI (NWANERI, 45) – 8
The sort of goal that keeps title dreams alive. Added real height and danger aerially, as well as a sweet volley from a tough angle.

ITV viewers will be able to get their next instalment of one of its hit dramas as its confirmed to be on air in February.

According to the series synopsis: “The series begins when suspected human remains are uncovered on Whitney Marsh – Jess and Sunny are immediately called to the scene, abandoning their evening plans to Jess’s husband’s chagrin.
“Dr Balcombe’s analysis reveals that the remains are relatively recent and suggest a grim conclusion: the body was placed there already dismembered.
“With this insight, Jess and Sunny intensify their search certain that other body parts may not be far away.”
The upcoming series features a star cast including MyAnna Buring (The Witcher), Elham Elas (Shantaram), Victoria Hamilton (COBRA) and newcomer Max Fairley, as well as Jan Francis (Just Good Friends) and Damien Molony (Brassic).
The season six synopsis continued: “As the investigation unfolds, viewers are introduced to a diverse new cast of characters: Melinda Ricci (MyAnna Buring), an outspoken television commentator based in Ireland; Martin ‘Marty’ Baines (Max Fairley), an autistic man living with his mother Dot in Deal, Kent; Asif Syed (Elham Elas), an Afghan training for his UK citizenship test; and Juliet Cooper (Victoria Hamilton), a history lecturer and faculty head at a London university.
“While these characters live seemingly separate lives, they are intricately connected by their pasts.
“It’s up to Jess, Sunny, and their dedicated team to uncover these hidden links and ultimately expose the truth behind the cold case murder.”
The news of series six comes following record ratings for the show in the previous series, which first began in 2015 and was last seen on air in 2023.
The first four series featured DCI Cassie Stuart (played byNicola Walker), before she left the programmeat the end of series four.

The Europa League’s inaugural league phase concludes on Thursday in what’s expected to be a chaotic night of action across Europe.
All 18 games will be played at the same time with Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United in a good position to secure automatic qualification.
And automatic qualification would be hugely helpful to the Red Devils given it would see them avoid playing two extra games in February’s play-offs.
United’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Rangers saw them move up to fourth in the league table with 15 points, meaning victory against FCSB on Thursday will cement a top-eight finish.
A draw might be enough depending on results elsewhere, but Amorim’s side won’t be taking any chances and should field a full-strength starting XI to get the job done in Romania.
And they should enter this encounter with their tails up having beaten Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday.
Manchester United have also won five of their six meetings with Romanian sides in all competitions, while they’ve not lost any of their last six away Europa League group stage matches.
Though it won’t exactly be a walk in the park.
FCSB sit second in the Romanian top-flight on goal difference and have lost just three of their last 22 home group stage matches in the Europa League.

Low scoring
It’s unlikely to be a classic in Bucharest on Thursday, in terms of goals anyway.
As mentioned, FCSB have lost just three of their last 22 home group stage matches in the Europa League. They also beaten the likes of Midtjylland and Qarabag while securing goalless draws against Olympiacos and Hoffenheim.
They’ve conceded just once in three games on home turf, while the travelling Red Devils aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders in attack.

The petrol head’s new show will launch on[/caption]
James will front a new factual series called The Great Explorers.
Viewers will see James chart the journey of Christopher Columbus, Sir Walter Raleigh and Captain James Cook.
The series will air over three episodes, each running for a whopping 90-minutes in duration.
Speaking about the new series, James said: “TV shows are often described as ‘journeys’ and ‘explorations’; this one really is about journeys and exploration.
“We all think we know the basic pub facts about these three great men, but the reality may come as a bit of a surprise. It certainly was to me.”
James’ new series comes after his ‘Our Man In’ travel series was axed by Prime Video last year.
Discussing the news of the show being cancelled, the petrol-head said: “Well, they just didn’t want it anymore, miserable b*****ds.”
Our Man In saw James visit Japan for its first series, before he turned his attention to Italy.
The third and now final series, which landed on Prime Video at the start of this year, focused on his travels across India.

THIS is the horrific moment a giant fish attacks a young mermaid performer’s head in front of frightened children.
Harrowing footage caught the dramatic incident where a crowd in an aquarium watched a Russian female performer get her head nearly chomped off.
Masha, 22, was performing as a mermaid in a large fish tank[/caption]
A big fish attacked her whilst she was swimming[/caption]
The Russian animator was attacked on 28 January[/caption]
The attack took place at Xishuangbanna Primitive Forest Park, an aquarium in China’s Yunnan Province, where 22-year-old mermaid animator Masha works.
The performer can be seen making waves in an elegant routine among other large beasts in the tank before she is suddenly interrupted.
The devious fish can be seen quietly creeping up on her before it quickly seizes the swimmer’s skull in its large jaws.
It appears to be a sturgeon, a fish that can grow up to 20 feet in length and are known to sometimes attack humans.
Luckily, the swimmer pulls away seconds later and hastily swims up towards the surface heading for an escape.
Viewers, including some children, were left shocked as they gasped at the nearly devastating ordeal.
Her head, neck and eye were wounded by the massive creature while her nose clips and goggles were not so lucky as they were eaten.
Russian media said that the distressed woman was even forced back to work soon after, despite being left in severe pain after the bite.
She was offered £78 in compensation for “moral damages” but was barred from talking about it as bosses at the site tried to cover it up.
The freshwater aquarium features native species of fish from the Mekong and Yangtze Rivers, as well as many other rare amphibians.
Masha’s employers called her repeatedly warning of the consequences of posting the video online.
But their attempts to destroy the story proved futile after one of the disturbed spectators posted their point of view on TikTok’s sister app in China Douyin.
One user joked: “It’s normal to have some conflicts between colleagues.”
Another speculated: “I feel like this girl won’t be working as a mermaid anymore.”

On Trip.com, the attraction has received mostly positive feedback, with one visitor writing: “I was really impressed with the clean and high standard of living conditions for the fish and reptiles.
“A little difficult to find your way around inside as not many English signs.
“There is also a 7D cinema which is well worth doing, kids will love it.”
Last year in Brazil 15 people bathing in a river were injured after being attacked by piranhas.
Firefighters had to take at least four of them to hospital.

CAROLINE Glachan was the schoolgirl who never came home – instead, her violently assaulted body was found face down in the river.
Her murder remained unsolved for almost 30 years and became one of Scotland’s most haunting cold cases.
Schoolgirl Caroline Glachan never returned home – her body was found face down in a river[/caption]
Nearly three decades after Caroline’s murder, Robert O’Brien stood accused of the crime[/caption]
Andrew Kelly and Donna Marie Brand also stood trial for the murder[/caption]
And with cameras allowed into the country’s courts, a gripping documentary – Murder Trial: Girl in the River – followed every twist and turn of the shocking revelations unfolding at the trial of the accused, Robert O’Brien, Andrew Kelly and Donna Marie Brand, as Caroline’s heartbroken family prayed for one last chance of justice.
And the evidence of a four-year-old boy who was present as Caroline met her grisly end would prove crucial.
It was August 25, 1996, when 14-year-old Caroline was brutally killed and dumped in the River Leven, Dumbartonshire.
The original police investigation was hampered by an unwillingness to cooperate with the police and only reopened in 2019.
Throughout that time, Caroline’s heartbroken mother, Margaret McKeich, kept fighting for the truth about who murdered her only child.
“Hope. Hope is the only thing that I have got, and I hope that I get some kind of justice for Caroline,” says Margaret.
“It’s going to be a hard trial, it’s going to be hard to hear and see things, but I’m going to be there because I feel, as Caroline’s mother, I’ve got to be there.
“I’ve waited long enough for it. I just thought that this was a day that would never come.”
As the jury discovered, Robert ‘Robbie’ O’Brien was 18 years old in 1996 and in a relationship with Caroline.
Caroline’s family had to endure nearly three decades of no justice[/caption]

O’Brien was in a relationship with both Caroline and his co-accused, Donna Marie Brand[/caption]
It was something her family were not happy about, with Margaret saying she had questioned Robbie on his motives for being involved with a 14-year-old child.
But worse was to come. He was also seeing his co-accused, Donna Marie Brand, who was pregnant with his child.
Caroline’s mum Margaret told the court that the night she went missing she and her husband were going out to celebrate her 40th birthday and agreed for the daughter to have pal Joanne Menzies stay over.
But when the couple arrived home, only Joanne was in the house – and she said Caroline had gone out to the other side of town, where Robbie and his friends lived.
Frantic Margaret called around friends and then the police – and the next day detectives gave her the devastating news that they had found Caroline’s body.
The real-life courtroom drama shows distraught Margaret’s tearful reaction as the jurors are showed footage of police divers recovering her daughter’s body from the river.
Speaking to the filmmakers, Margaret says: “That plays a lot on my mind, what were her last moments? Guilt plays a lot on my mind.
“Where was I when she needed me? I’m her mother, but you can’t protect her all of the time. So the logic inside of me says that, but I should’ve been there.”
Lured to her death

Witnesses say Brand had told Caroline she would beat her up[/caption]
Kelly and O’Brien were babysitting a child who gave crucial evidence during the trial[/caption]
In court, the Crown suggested O’Brien and his friends lured Caroline to her death whilst they were babysitting four-year-old local boy ‘Archie’ on that fateful night.
The defence, meanwhile, argued that the friends never left the house and played no part in Caroline’s murder.
DCI Stuart Grainger was the SIO on the reopened case and said a lot of the witnesses at the time were reluctant to speak to police.
He said: “You don’t want to be seen as a ‘grass’. When you look at the people who were involved, maybe people were intimidated that if they spoke out that would bring trouble to them.
“I think the original inquiry faced those kinds of barriers, whereas we have come into it years later, times have changed, people have grown up, allegiances have changed.”
Guilt plays a lot on my mind. Where was I when she needed me? I’m her mother, but you can’t protect her all of the time. So the logic inside of me says that, but I should’ve been there
Margaret McKeich
In one shocking twist, a witness revealed that Caroline had told her she too was pregnant with Robbie’s child.
And she also claimed that Donna Brand was furious and told her she was going to ‘batter’ Caroline.
Several of the witnesses in the case had histories of heroin abuse from the time Caroline was murdered – leading the defence to question whether their recollections of events could be relied on.
And the fact that there were three defendants in the harrowing case meant the jury would have a tough time untangling the evidence.
Police felt the fact that Caroline thought she was pregnant, and that Robbie O’Brien believed he had got two girls pregnant at the same time, could have been a catalyst for murder.
But the forensic pathologist who examined Caroline’s body said that she was not pregnant – but had suffered extensive skull fractures and was still alive when she fell in the water, and therefore she drowned.
In another shocking development, Caroline’s best friend Joanne Menzies told the court that Robert O’Brien and Caroline’s relationship had been ‘quite violent’.
She said: “On numerous occasions, I stopped him attacking her. He would attack her, bully her. He would grab her neck and slam her into the wall.”
But O’Brien’s defence claimed another man called George Graham – who was now dead – had confessed to Caroline’s murder.
And again the three defendants banked on their alibi of being in a house together babysitting all night would put them in the clear.
But the prosecution had a vital eye witness – the four-year-old boy called Archie who they had been looking after.
Archie’s mum told the court that she would regularly use Andrew Kelly and his girlfriend Sarah Jane O’Neil, now dead, as babysitters for her children.
On the night Caroline went missing she had asked Kelly and O’Neill to babysit.
When she came home the next day her carpet was wet through and her son told her that they, along with O’Brien and Brand, had taken him down to the river.

Investigators worked tirelessly to retrieve evidence where Caroline’s body was found[/caption]
And Archie had told her this before she heard about a body being found in the river.
She said: “It was before because when I heard that, that is when I realised my wee’un had been telling me the truth.”
However, the defence questioned her on the timings of Archie’s revelation.
But the police interviewed four-year-old Archie at the time of Caroline’s death – and a chilling film of the interview was shown to the jury.
In the bombshell video the child told police that he, Caroline, Robbie, Andy, Sarah and Sarah-Jane were all at the river.
And he saw Robbie hitting Caroline with a metal pole and that metal went into her eyes – an injury that was later confirmed by pathology.
And Archie said he closed his eyes when Robbie pushed Caroline into the water.
But the defence revealed that two days before the video interview, Archie had been unable to identify someone called Robbie.
And in another interview, Robbie told officers that Andy had thrown boulders at Caroline. So the defence claimed that he was an unreliable witness.
But a neighbour to Archie’s family disputed the defendants’ claims that they didn’t leave the flat all night.
Linda said she was waiting for a film to start around midnight when she heard voices and saw Sarah-Jane bumping a buggy down the steps with Archie at the side of her, along with Andrew Kelly and another man and woman in front of them.
UK's most prolific killers
Harold Shipman – One of the most prolific serial killers in history, the GP is believed to have murdered at least 250 of his patients between 1975 and 1998.
Peter Sutcliffe (The Yorkshire Ripper) – Murdered 13 women and attempted to kill seven others across Yorkshire and Greater Manchester between 1975 and 1980.
Fred and Rose West – The married couple were responsible for the brutal torture and murder of at least 12 young women, including their own daughter, at their home in Gloucester.
Jack the Ripper – An unidentified serial killer who terrorized London’s Whitechapel district in 1888, murdering at least five women in gruesome fashion.
Dennis Nilsen – Lured and killed at least 15 men between 1978 and 1983 in London, keeping their bodies and dismembering them in his flat.
Ian Brady and Myra Hindley (The Moors Murderers) – Killed five children in the 1960s, torturing and burying them on Saddleworth Moor.
Beverley Allitt – A nurse who killed four children and attempted to murder nine others in a Lincolnshire hospital in the early 1990s.
Stephen Port (The Grindr Killer) – Drugged, raped, and murdered four men between 2014 and 2015 in London, luring them through online dating apps.
Levi Bellfield – A serial killer and sex offender convicted of murdering three women, including 13-year-old Milly Dowler in 2002. He is also linked to other violent attacks and suspected murders.
10. Joanna Dennehy – One of the UK’s few female serial killers, Dennehy murdered three men in 2013 in what became known as the “Peterborough ditch murders.” She attacked two more men who survived.
She later heard a commotion and saw the same people coming back to the flat, with the women in distress and some arguing.
The defence argued that their recollection of events had varied from when they were originally interviewed 27 years previously.
All three of the accused could choose to go into the witness box and give evidence – but only Robert O’Brien chose to do so.
He admitted sleeping with 14-year-old Caroline, but denied seeing her at all the evening she went missing, leaving the babysitting house, being violent towards her or having any involvement in her death.
They were jailed for life. Robert O’Brien must serve at least 22 years in prison and Andrew Kelly will have to serve at least 18 years before they can apply for parole. Donna Marie Brand must serve at least 17 years.
Judge Lord Braid said O’Brien was the main perpetrator and used “extreme violence” on the teenager.
The judge said while Kelly played a lesser role, he was also involved in inflicting “murderous violence”.
Lord Braid accepted that Brand also played a lesser role in the murder as there was “no evidence” she participated in the assault.
But the judge said she must “bear the consequences” of O’Brien’s actions as she left Caroline lying face down in the water.
Outside court Caroline’s mum Margaret McKeich told reporters the verdict would not bring her daughter back but at least those responsible were behind bars.
She said: “For the past 25 years they have lived their lives and they have had their Christmases and birthdays and my Caroline was in the ground.
“This is a day we never thought we would see and now I think Caroline can rest in peace.”

Ruby could be seen tenderly holding her newborn in her arms as she gazed at him adoringly.
But the influencer was left devastated as she revealed that her little boy had sadly passed away – saying “we’ll meet again”.
Alongside the photo, she wrote a heartfelt message which read: “Darling, sweet boy Romeo Civzelis. We are sat here with an empty womb, empty cot at home and a broken heart.
“Your wings were ready but our hearts wasn’t. Rest in peace my angel boy Romeo. I will never comprehend what has happened.
“We dressed him, we held him, kissed him, and told him how much we loved him.
“Mummy and daddy love you SO much my darling ‘we’ll meet again, I don’t know where, I don’t know when, but I know we’ll meet again , some sunny day’.
“Thank you to my amazing fiancé and mum for being by my side.”
Ruby also shared a photo with her fiance as they pair held their son in their arms.
The heartbroken mum added: “Mummy and daddy love you. Romeo, you saved me in so many ways, you will never understand.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.
“Sleep well baby boy.”
Ruby’s close friends were quick to share their message of support and condolences.
Former Love Island star Chloe Crowhurst wrote: “Oh Rubes, I am so sorry. This is absolutely heartbreaking. Sending you all so much love.”
Ex-Towie’s Chloe Brockett posted: “Ruby, I’m sending you and your partner so much love. Hope you’re okay.”
Wayne Lineker commented: “Love you beyond, you beautiful soul. Thinking of you, all my love forever.”
She revealed that she would’ve been dead if it wasn’t for his incredible bravery “hero” son – who saved her life by calling 999 as she lay unconscious.
Ruby decided to lie in bed as she started to feel lightheaded.
However, the mum collapsed after she got up to give her son JJ, five, a drink.
JJ was the only other person in the apartment but quickly and calmly dialled 999 to speak to an operator while his mum remained unconscious.
Paramedicshave praised the five-year-olds composure and added that he stayed “chilled” and “very calm” over the phone.
With the help of the 999 operator, JJ managed to put his mum into the recovery position and monitored her breathing.
Ruby said: “There was a point where he couldn’t hear me breathing and he calmly told the operator: ‘I don’t know if mummy has died’.
“And then I took a breath again and he said: ‘Oh no, no! Mummy is alive! She’s alive! She’s alive!'”
Ruby lives with her two sons JJ and Leo, nine.
The model celebrated her engagement to her partner back in May.
She shared a photo of them kissing and wrote: “11.5.2024 – in my fiancé era, the easiest yes Iv ever said!!! My soulmate.”
