Revealed: How much Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari would cost Arsenal in permanent move

Cedric Soares’ move to Arsenal arrived late in the transfer window but Mikel Arteta did manage to bring in reinforcements at full-back.

The defender signed on a season-long loan from Southampton on deadline day but will have to wait to play his first game in a Gunners shirt as he recovers from injury.
