Brazilian club Botafogo are believed to be interested in free agent Cedric Soares after he left Arsenal this summer.

The right-back, 32, is believed to have interest from clubs in Europe, including Ajax, but is carefully deciding his future.

Speaking to Canal 11 in his native Portugal, he said: "I want to make the right decision. Of course I've been contacted and I've had a few offers.

"But it's an important moment for me and my family, it's a moment for me to make sure it's the right project, that I get the playing time I need and, above all, that it will also make me happy.

"I'll be honest, I'm open to both options [Portugal or abroad], but it has to make sense for me and for the clubs. And that's very important, that both parts really want the same thing.

"When that's the case, things can get under way, otherwise it doesn't make sense."

Cedric is involved in a free agent training camp in Portugal alongside former Premier League players and free agents Rui Patricio and Adrien Silva.
