ARSENAL fans have been left convinced that forgotten star Cedric has earned a new deal at the club.
The right-back was seen sitting on the floor during a team meeting as Declan Rice's move to the Gunners was confirmed.
Arsenal uploaded a clip to their YouTube channel of manager Mikel Arteta beginning a team discussion to review their 1-1 draw with Nurnberg in a pre-season friendly.
The Spaniard began by welcoming new signings Rice and Jurrien Timber to "the family".
However, fans were left distracted by Cedric, who was spotted sitting at the front on the floor.
The Portuguese international has been on the books at Arsenal since 2020 and spent last season on loan at Fulham.
