France winger Antoine Griezmann has revealed Carlos Vela is set to stay with Real Sociedad.
Arsenal have considered buying back the Mexico striker.
But Griezmann revealed: "I'm talking to you in Spanish because of Carlos. He's a top player; there's no one better. We have a great relationship on and off the pitch because we're good friends.
"He's relaxed. He's already signed a new contract and he's looking happy."
Of his own future, Griezmann added: "I don't know where my future lies yet. Hopefully I'll be able to stay, but we'll have to see what happens."
