Carlos Vela says he is keen to return to Arsenal this summer amid talk that the Gunners want to re-sign him from Real Sociedad.
The 25-year-old has been a big hit since quitting the Emirates Stadium in 2012, proving himself as one of the best forwards in Spanish football.
Arsene Wenger inserted a £3million buy-back clause in Vela’s contract when he was sold to Sociedad, and amid talk that the Frenchman wants him back, the forward has confirmed his interest in going back to north London.
‘I’m open to the idea of going back to Arsenal,’ Vela said.

‘Arsenal could buy me back for £3million – a million more than Real Sociedad paid for me. I like being where I am for the moment, but I think I’m ready to try other things.
‘I’m more mature, I’ve changed my way of thinking and I’m open to anything.’
Wenger is said to be seriously considering re-signing the Mexico forward to bolster his striker options, with the club being over-reliant on Olivier Giroud term.
Vela has had his best season to date in professional football, scoring 19 goals and collecting 12 assists from 45 matches so far this term.
