Carlos Vela is in talks with West Bromwich Albion over a loan move, agent Eduardo Hernández has confirmed. The Mexican international is expected to complete a switch away from the Emirates in the next few days.
Hernández arrived in London earlier in the week and held talks with both Arsenal and the player. Arsène Wenger has already given his blessing to the move, but a club has yet to be decided on. The striker has had over 15 offers, from all over the world. However, he narrowed them down to three earlier in the week.
Bolton have been the front runners for a number of weeks, along with Spanish outfit Valencia. Vela himself has refused to return to La Liga, and wants to continue to adapt to life in England. Owen Coyle has spoken to Hernández extensively, but is yet to offer to the guarantee of regular playing time he needs.
West Brom emerged as a realistic option in the last few days, and Hernández has confirmed to the Mexican press his client has been in the Midlands for talks. A decision either way is expected shortly.
