WorldwideFootball understands Arsenal striker Carlos Vela has joined fellow Premier League side West Bromwich Albion on loan until the end of the season.
The 21 year old joined Arsenal in 2005 and has had spells in Spain with both Salamanca and Osasuna but hasn't managed to break into the Arsenal starting line-up and currently finds himself way down the pecking order at the Emirates. Although he is a regular for the Mexican national team (making 33 appearances) if he is to continue leading the front line he needs to get games under his belt and Brom boss Roberto Di Matteo is the man to help the striker.
Although initially on loan it isn't known whether the deal could become permanent in the summer but one thing is for certain, at the age of 21 Carlos Vela needs regular football. Will he be able to get that at Arsenal or could the 2011/12 season see the striker elsewhere?
Carlos Vela's career:
2005 - Arsenal - 29 apps (3 goals)
2006-2007 - Salamance (loan) - 31 apps (8 goals)
2007-2008 - Osasuna (loan) 32 apps (3 goals)
