A report circulating in the Spanish press today is that Carlos Vela will not be returning to Arsenal. This is after Arsenal agreed to sell their clause for £8.8 million. This therefore, means that Real Sociedad will own the entire player without any buy back clauses.

This is another player along with Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa that you can cross of Arsene Wenger’s shopping spree.  This is good business by Arsenal as Carlos Vela doesn’t want to return anyway and most Arsenal fans are undecided.

Additionally, Arsenal have received money from Barcelona for the sale of Cesc Fabregas meaning that Arsenal have made a staggering £14.4 million on two previous players which we sold.

Another, rumour doing the round is that Arsenal are expected to bid for Seamus Coleman. This was tweeted by Sky Correspondent Edna Brady.

“Arsene Wenger very keen on Seamus Coleman, I'm told. Expect a bid.”

This would be a welcome addition as this is the class of player we need to replace the departing Bacary Sagna who agreed a move to Manchester City. This is a deal that we should keep a close eye on however; it will take a lot of money to get Coleman out of Everton.
