Real Sociedad striker Carlos Vela has played down talk of a return to Arsenal. The Mexico international has been linked with his former club, which has a £4 million buy-back option.
"Arsenal are a great team that gave me the opportunity to come to Europe and I have great affection for, but right now I'm not there and when I was, I did not have the opportunities that I thought I should had," said Vela.
"I want to play in Europe and if we can't qualify this season, then I'd like to stay with Real and try again next year."
