Vela has scored 34 goals since leaving the Gunners for Real Sociedad (initially on loan) but his assist tally proves he is more than just a goal-scorer. With Arsenal in desperate need of a world-class centre forward to boost their title challenge and a buy-back option reportedly available on Vela, a return to North London for the Mexico international could be on the cards.
