Green light for Carlos Vela

[Beefy]

Carlos Vela has received clearance to begin his belated Arsenal career and will be with the squad for pre-season training.



The Mexican international signed a five-year contract with the Gunners in November 2005, but was barred from joining up with his new team-mates by Fifa legislation.


As a result, he has been forced to spend the last few years on loan in Spain with Celta Vigo, Salamanca and Osasuna.


However, with Arsene Wenger keen to bring the teenager into the first-team fold at Emirates Stadium, he has finally been grated a work permit to play in England.
