The Portuguese has been deemed surplus to requirements by the Gunners, and he has been training away from the first team.

It was anticipated that he would be sold before the English transfer deadline, but the right-back is still contracted to the club.

However, he could leave in the next few days with interest from a number of clubs from the Turkish Super Lig, as per Fanatik.

The Turkish transfer window does not close until September 15, and the likes of Besiktas and Istanbul Basaksehir are keeping tabs.

The duo have yet to make any formal offers to sign him, but Arsenal may have to accept a nominal fee to sanction his exit.

Aside from Cedric, Nicolas Pepe is also expected to leave in the coming days. He has been linked with Saudi and Turkish clubs.

Besiktas wanted to sign him on a free transfer last month, but the Gunners refused to terminate his contract by mutual agreement.
