CARLOS VELA has been told he will not be sold by Arsenal this summer.
The Mexican striker, 22, was loaned out to West Brom for the second half of last season but failed to make a major impact, scoring just twice in eight Premier League appearances.
He was expected to be one of several players allowed to leave as Arsene Wenger revamped his squad following another campaign which promised so much but failed to deliver.
But Vela's agent Eduardo Hernandez insists Vela is still very much part of Wenger's plans.
He said: "I have had eight conversations with Arsenal, the most recent was last Friday, and Carlos is an Arsenal player, he will stay at Arsenal and is not for sale.
"The process with Carlos is a little bit slow.
"Arsene Wenger is an extremely demanding coach, he sent him on loan for six months to West Brom not with the results he wanted, but, nevertheless, everything is going very well."
