Despite having scored the most goals of any team in the Premiership so far this season, Arsenal
coach Arsene Wenger seems to be in hot pursuit of another striker or two.
21 year-old Congo striker Tresor Mputu is currently on trial with the Gunners, and Wenger looks set
upon recalling teenage striking sensation Carlos Vela from his loan at Osasuna now that work permit
restrictions have been worked out.
Congo striker Tresor Mputu's agent claims that Arsenal have made a concrete offer for the 21
year-old TP Mazembe star.
Mputu, who has scored 34 goals in 30 league games for his team, was in London on a 10 day trial
which Arsene Wenger and Bajo Bujani, the player's agent, both considered to be successful.
Arsenal prodigy Carlos Vela will not return from a loan at Osasuna until next Summer, said Arsene
Wenger.
Many fans were expecting to see the 18 year-old meet up with the squad in London in January, but it
now seems that he will not even be cleared to play in England until March.
Arsene Wenger said that Arsenal scouts watch every game he plays, and that upon joining up with the
Gunners in England he will immediately be part of the first-team squad.
By 1970's Gooner Carlos Vela, the Mexican wonder kid who is on Arsenal's books, has scored a
fantastic goal for Spanish La Liga side Osasuna helping them win away at Real Betis 0-3. The
striker was then left out as Osasuna slumped to a 2-0 home defeat by Getafe. Maybe they should play
him more often. As you can see on the video he takes the ball from the left wide midfield position,

Arsenal are, without a doubt, one of the offensive powerhouses of English football, despite having
lost talismanic striker Thierry Henry to Barcelona during the Summer.
The Gunners are currently on top of the Premiership and its goalscoring charts, having scored 27
goals in 12 Premier League matches. Outside of the Premier League Arsenal have scored 19 goals in 7
outings, including a 7-0 drubbing of Slavia Prague at the Emirates.
Carlos Vela will be cleared to play for Arsenal in January following loan moves to Celta de Vigo,
Salamanca, and Osasuna. The prodigious Mexican striker joined Arsenal in 2005 for a fee of £2.5
million, but was unable to join the club due to work permit restrictions.
It is rumored that Arsene Wenger will recall the forward from his most recent loan at Osasuna
during January's transfer window.
