Southampton were reportedly ‘left shocked’ by Arsenal’s January pursuit of defender Cédric Soares.
Arsenal signed Cédric on deadline day – a six month loan – despite his Saints contract expiring this summer.

According to David Ornstein, senior Southampton officials expected Soares to leave but to a lower league club, perhaps even abroad.
To make matters even more interesting, the 28-year-old has been ruled out until March with knee ligament damage and arrived to undergo his medical at London Colney with a knee brace on.
Arsenal will end up paying £5m (loan fee and wages) for someone out of favour, injured and available for free in four months.
What a club!
