Sociedad eye Arsenal talks on Vela

Real Sociedad are hoping to wrap up a permanent move for on loan Mexican striker Carlos Vela, as the Spanish sides president is set to fly to London to thrash out a permanent move for the skillful forward.

The 23-year-old told his agent that he would like to stay in Spain, and was quoted as saying in February: "I don't want to return to Arsenal. I have asked my agent to negotiate with Arsenal to stay here."


According to reports, the Gunners will listen to any offers over 5.5 million Euros for Vela, who is also being tracked by Segunda Liga side Deportivo La Coruna.
