Apparently we've activated his buy back clause.
Carlos Vela
According to who?
Quick google turns up the Daily Star saying we're negotiating a price to scrap the buy back clause. That would be very Arsenally, negotiating extra money for a player we've already sold instead of negotiating signings.
Bolstering the Cavani fund. Woot!

Sociedad president.

Seems very confident that that is the case.
Welcome back Carlitos
You would be out of your nut to not sign a player with 16 goals and 12 assist in la liga for £4m.
Just what we need to ensure we have quality on the RW with Theo out.
If true fantastic news.
Fingers crossed he brings his form with him.
Plenty of money left over for Griezmann or Morata or Balotelli too.
Vela and Balotelli in, Podolski out.
Would ppl be happy with that?
Why get rid of Podolski?
A lot of Gooners think he doesn't fit in.

Only eight players were involved in more goals (scored & assisted) than Carlos Vela in the top five leagues - 28.

Those eight players Suarez (43) Ronaldo (40) Messi (39) Zlatan (37) Diego Costa (30) Reus, Alexis Sanchez & Yaya (29)

Considering he plays for a team like Sociedad, it makes his stats even more impressive.
No need for podolski out.
Pod plays on the left, vela won't see any action there. Either he plays up-front or cutting in from the right.
Podolski has an important squad role at the club, although he goes missing for entire games, he is a great player when the team itself is playing well. He is deadly in the channel between FB and RB.
