Arsenal holding Carlos Vela to ransom

Arsenal pricing Vela out of move

Arsenal have been accused of pricing Carlos Vela out of summer move.

Vela's agent, Eduardo Hernandez, claims that the Gunners' demand for a £6m fee will block any potential move to Real Sociedad.

The 23-year-old Mexican forward spent last season on loan with the La Liga side and is reported to be keen on securing a permanent move to Spain.

"He is very happy at Sociedad, he wants to stay there, but Arsenal are a complicated club to deal with," Hernandez said.

Vela has scored three times in 29 Premier League appearances since joining Arsenal in 2005.
