http://tinyurl.com/ys5rcp Levante looking to land Gunner By Tom Adams - Created on 29 May 2007 Levante have confirmed they are hoping to bring Arsenal youngster Carlos Vela to the Primera Liga next season. The teenage Mexican striker has yet to make a first team appearance for The Gunners due to the fact he does not qualify for a work permit, and his ongoing Spanish adventure looks set to continue into a third season. After joining Celta Vigo on loan for the second half of the 2005/2006 season, Vela spent last term with Salamanca in the Segunda Division and caught the eye with a number of promising performances. The top scorer in the 2005 World Under 17 Championships in Peru contributed seven goals in 27 games for Salamanca and has been likened to Mexican legend Hugo Sanchez. With his eligibility still a concern for Arsenal, Arsene Wenger is believed to be keen to see Vela accrue some top flight experience next season, and Levante are now hoping to confirm his arrival with the fortnight. "Vela is a very interesting player, [but] the operation is still not closed," Levante sporting director Manuel Salvador told Mexican newspaper Diario de Yucatan. "Everything depends on Arsenal. "There are some problems, because he is a non-EU player. It has some disadvantages, but nothing else." Vela joined Arsenal in November 2005 at the tender age of 16, for a reported fee of ?2.5million, but the former Guadalajara striker has found his feet in European football almost exclusively in Spain. The Mexican youth international impressed at Salamanca this season, and Vela insists the club will always hold a special place in his heart after helping to launch his career. "The goodbye moved me so much," said Vela, after his final game for the club. "I am human, and just as you remember me playing here I will remember you as well. "The best memory I can take is my first goal. "With that I obtained the confidence necessary to improve and thanks to that there is the option for me to go to a first division team." 我對Vela的天賦沒有太大的懷疑~~這麼多關於他租借的邀約就看的出來 不過比較擔心的是他轉會來歐洲後~~大多數的時間都是呆在西班牙 對英語系國家的生活適應可以說是根本沒有 與槍手的關係僅存在於薄弱的文字合約關係上 本特納這樣子條件的人都能夠和我們明算帳這麼清楚了 更何況長期在外面的Vela 如果我們真的有心要栽培重點正太 小朋友在這個階段最重要的生活照顧~~不曉得我們對Vela做的如何? 希望有妥善照顧… 本特納, Vela, 美利達, Denilson, Walcott~~ 這幾位都是我們20歲以下組頗受注目的新星 不曉得日後有幾個能成大器?? 另外有一點還不賴的是…這些傢伙的位置都沒有重疊 如果通通給他們練起來~~那槍手未來五年的能量會很驚人!! --
