Carlos Vela is open to Arsenal return

Vela could join Arsenal

Carlos Vela is open to Arsenal return

03 May 2014 - 00:02

Real Sociedad striker Carlos Vela has hinted that he would welcome a return to former club Arsenal this summer.

  • Chelsea make firm decision on Marc Guehi
  • Chelsea striker won't return after temporary stint

  • The Mexican international joined the La Liga club from the Gunners on a permanent deal in 2012, having failed to cement a place in the first-team at the North London club.

     

    However, Vela's form at the Basque club in recent seasons is believed to have attracted interest from a host of top European clubs, and Arsenal could buy him on a bargain by triggering a buy-back clause inserted into his contract.

     

    "One possibility is my clause of €30million (£24.6m), but there's other options and we're looking at that, to see what we can and can't do," Vela said.

     

    "Arsenal can come back for me at €4million (£3.3m) at any time, which is €1million more than Real Sociedad paid. I look at things differently these days and I won't close the door on Arsenal, or any team in England. I think I'm better prepared to play in another country now."

     

    Velas has scored 19 goals for Sociedad in all competitions this season.
