West Brom clinch loan deal for Arsenal striker Vela

West Bromwich Albion have landed Arsenal striker Carlos Vela on-loan.

Baggies boss Roberto di Matteo announced the signing yesterday.

"I'd like to officially welcome Carlos, who is an exciting signing for this club," said Di Matteo.

"Carlos is a new attacking option for us who can play both centrally and in the wide areas.

"He also has great technical ability and pace and we're hoping he can make a big impact during the remainder of the season.

"There's no doubt that Carlos has the potential to become a great player and it will hopefully be a win-win situation, where we help him by giving him game time in the Premier League while he helps us achieve our goal.

"Having said all that, we have to remember he is still a young boy learning his trade and we will be giving him all the support he needs during his time here."
