Cedric signs new deal at Southampton

Southampton defender Cedric Soares has signed a new four-year contract keeping him at the club until 2020.

Cedric joined Southampton for £4.7m last summer and made 27 appearances in the 2015-16 season, scoring twice.

The 24-year-old played four times at Euro 2016 as part of the Portugal team which won the tournament.

"I'm really happy," the right-back said. "The club has given me more confidence and they show me that they also trust in my football."

Saints manager Claude Puel added: "He is an international player, he won Euro 2016 with Portugal and it's important for the club to keep players of his calibre.
