Arsenal / Vela set for Arsenal return


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will welcome Carlos Vela back to the club this summer.



The Mexican has spent the last season on loan at Osasuna and will play his final match for the Spanish club on Sunday as they look to avoid relegation.

The 19-year-old has yet to play a match for Arsenal since joining the club from Guadalajara.

However, Wenger will now apply for a work permit for the attacker and is hoping he can make an impression in the 2008/09 season.

"We have applied for a work permit for him now," Wenger told the club's official website. "And he will be involved with the first-team next season.

"He has played the whole season at Osasuna on the left wing and he had to work hard there. But for me it is not his position. He is a central striker, an Eduardo type."

Vela has played for Mexico three times, scoring once.
