I've watched Soares play often over the years, Southampton is one of my favourite stadiums to visit in the UK. He is a decent RB, looks good going forward but nothing special. For me it was very surprising that Santos preferred him over Cancelo during the World Cup last year.
If its a low cost loan deal with an option to buy, I guess its ok. It just means we are returning Vrsaljko due to his injuries.
I’ve been reading a lot about how Cedric is a good crosser on this last days here and also on other forums, well for me, unless he improved immensely in Southampton while at the same time continued being average in that for the NT, that’s just not true.
IMO it’s one of his biggest gaps since ever, he’s better at defending but he often gives depth to the attack, the problem is that his crosses are often off target, now imagine when you have a player as good as Ronaldo when it comes to heading on the box and the crosses keep missing him again and again.

Just went and checked his stats on transfermark, 22 assists in 244 matches.
It seems he is an average fullback at best and Inter should refrain from taking the option to buy. He will be an emergency stopgap until we reach the next transfer window. I guess it will be another perpetual fullback mercato again.
