So if you want to go and see some goals, head up to North London.

starting with Cedric at right back obviously that's a deal that hasn't quite been done yet but it looks like it's on the way it's clear that Arteta wants back up there at the moment you've got Hector Bellerin who's just coming back from injury and it feels like he was out forever he had that cruciate injury I think he came back for two or three games and he had a hamstring issue and that kept him out for even longer but

he's played two games since he's been back full 90 minutes against Chelsea and then Bournemouth in the FA Cup and against Chelsea he was captain and he scored so so far so good if you want to look at it like that and now Callum Chambers had a short run inside he's also now got a cruciate injury

So that's probably forced Arteta's hand a little bit.

But then you also have to question, particularly with Chambers, if he is good enough to be the first choice right back at Arsenal.

Bellerin probably is the choice and it's a very good choice.

But Cedric's certainly a perfectly viable backup option.

Let's not forget he's won the European Championships with Portugal in 2016.

I mean, that's nothing to be sniffed at.

And he's got four and a half years of Premier League experience.

He's played 117 times in the Premier League.

There are signs it wasn't Ralph Hudson, who was favourite this time last year.

He went on loan to Inter Milan.

I think he only played six games.

He definitely played four in Syria.

And now there's the chance for him to go to Arsenal.

He did start the last 13 Premier League games for Southampton before today with Jan Valery, who is the first choice right back, struggling with a virus.

Southampton have seen an upturn in form, so whether those two are connected, that's...

sort of another discussion for another day.

But under the current circumstances, his contract to Southampton is up in the summer.
