Barca set to make a shock move for Arsenal flop in January

Barcelona have reportedly set to make a shock for Arsenal flop Carlos Vela in January from Los Angeles FC.
The 30-year-old Mexico international scored 36 goals and registered 11 assists in an outstanding 2019 season in Major League Soccer, having first moved to the United States last year but Bob Bradley’s side went on to beat the LA Galaxy in the MLS playoffs but suffered a 3-1 defeat in the final at the hands of the Seattle Sounders.
Vela was heavily linked with a loan move to Barcelona back in January when he turned his back on European football back in 2017 after left Real Sociedad to sign a contract with LAFC, who were a new MLS franchise at the time.
However, according to former Blaugrana youngster Dos Santos, who played at the Nou Camp for five seasons, the Spanish champions have decided to make another attempt in the upcoming the winter transfer window as he told W Radio that his club and country teammate has received an offer from the Catalan club,
“As I am now on vacation, I have not had much contact with him.
“But it is true, he has that offer on the table [from Barcelona]. I don’t know what he’s going to do.
“He’s very happy in Los Angeles, he had a spectacular season, but Barca looking for you is a very nice opportunity.
“I’m happy for him. As a Mexican, I hope this possibility can be given.”
Vela joined Arsenal’s academy in 2005 from Guadalajara in his homeland but made only 29 Premier League appearances and three goals during his time at Emirate Stadium and also spent five loan spells away from the club, including one with West Brom during which he netted twice in eight Premier League matches before leaving in 2012.
