Cedric has also made 33 appearances for his country, including featuring at the 2018 World Cup and in Portugal’s victorious Euro 2016 campaign
Why Arsenal signed Cedric Soares
Arsenal’s technical director Edu said Cedric would “provide our squad with quality”.
He added: “I know he is a player who plays with absolute full commitment and energy.
We are all looking forward to going into the last stages of the season with Cedric as part of the club.”
Cedric, who started his career with Sporting Lisbon, becomes Arsenal’s second addition to the squad during the January transfer window following the agreement of a loan deal for Flamengo defender Pablo Mari.
