Cristiano Ronaldo helping Arsenal? Cedric Soares reveals he told Gunners team-mates to study legendary forward during Emirates spell

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Soares, who spent three-and-a-half seasons at the Emirates Stadium, reflected on his time spent with the Gunners as he claimed he used to advise his team-mates to study Ronaldo's game - whom he considers to be the best player - meticulously to improve their skills up front.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 39-year-old Portuguese legend achieved yet another milestone in his illustrious career on Monday as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-makes-history-al-nassr-breaks-saudi-pro-league-record-most-goals-in-season/bltdba00468162c54b2" target="_blank">broke the goalscoring record in a single season in the Saudi Pro League</a>. His brace against Al-Ittihad helped Al-Nassr to end the league campaign with a 4-2 win as Ronaldo reached 35 goals in the Saudi League.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0kJuJM4vJc" target="_blank">1 PARA 1 Podcast</a>, Soares said, "Cristiano is a very complete player. One-on-one, he’s very good, he can dribble, and almost always shoots on target. You really need a lot, a lot of quality for that. I often talk to my teammates and say, 'Study Cristiano. When attacking the box, he’s the best player you can watch.' His timings are fantastic. He has that."he added, "How does Bernardo Silva, with his physique, make the difference he makes in the Premier League? Because he adapts his characteristics very well to the game. He thinks ahead of others, at all times. I often say this to Fábio (Vieira) because they’re players I think are similar, similar quality, both left-footed."

WHAT CEDRIC SOARES SAID

Mikel Arteta's side, who finished second behind champions Manchester City in the Premier League this season, will be back in action in July as they are set to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-preseason-2024-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-how-to-watch/blt0f428044212732e7#cs76171fc3d7d74daa" target="_blank">travel to the US for pre-season</a> where they will face Manchester United and Liverpool.
