Arsenal are stepping up their pursuit of Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann.
The Basque Journal says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger hopes to trump PSG for the exciting French winger by using Carlos Vela as bait.
The Mexico international, a former Arsenal striker, carries a €4.2 million buyback in his Real deal.
Wenger, in talks over a fee for Griezmann, is prepared to write out the buyback clause in Vela's deal if given the opportunity to thrash out terms with Real for the winger.
