Carlos Vela joins Sociedad on loan from Arsenal

Carlos Vela will spend the coming season on loan in Spain to Real Sociedad. Arsenal will let the Mexican leave for the 2011/12 season and earn around 400,000 GBP for the switch.

The Gunners have previously sent Vela on loan to Spain before, as they pursued a work permit application for the forward.

Arsene Wenger continues his summer of change as Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Eboue have already quit the club.
