Carlos Vela by Futbolero

Carlos Alberto Vela Garrido (born March 1, 1989 in Cancún, Quintana Roo) is a Mexican footballer, currently playing striker for Arsenal of the English Premier League. He also plays for the Mexico national football team.

Carlos Vela's career started with Chivas de Guadalajara, alongside his brother Alejandro Vela who now plays for Cruz Azul. His big break came before he made his debut for Chivas, in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, held in Peru, where he helped the Mexican national team to victory. He was a pivotal figure in the final against Brazil as Mexico triumphed 30. Vela was subsequently named top scorer with five goals, claiming the Adidas Golden boot.

After the World Cup, Jorge Vergara, owner and president of Chivas de Guadalajara, offered to sign him, and since Vela's family lived in the then-recently-storm-stricken Cancún, Quintana Roo, he asked that the club help relocate them as a condition of his signing. He had previously shown his great affection to his father, whose birthday fell on the day on which Mexico beat Brazil in the final of the U-17 World Cup, by carrying the cup to his father and dedicating his Golden Boot to him.

Vela attracted interest from a number of European clubs, and eventually Arsenal won the race for his signature in November 2005 for a £125,000 fee that will rise to £550,000 if he plays 50 first-team games. Vela signed a five-year deal; however, due to English work permit restrictions for non-EU citizens which prevented him from playing in England, he was quickly loaned out to Celta de Vigo in February 2006.

Vela was then loaned to UD Salamanca, in the Spanish second division, for the 200607 season. After his loan spell with Salamanca ended with him scoring eight and creating many of their 53 goals, bigger clubs, of La Liga, such as Levante UD, Osasuna and UD Almeria were all interested in taking him on loan from Arsenal for whom he was still ineligible to play as he still had yet to receive a work permit.

Eventually, a one year loan move to Osasuna was agreed, with the option of an extension for another year, however, no permanent option had been contemplated. On 31 October 2007, he scored his first goal with Osasuna, in a match against Real Betis, a performance that went on to receive early praise from the Spanish press.

During his stay at Osasuna, Vela made his full international debut for Mexico in a September 2007 friendly against Brazil. On 18 October 2007, Vela scored his first senior international goal for Mexico in a friendly against Guatemala played in Los Angeles.

On 22 May 2008, Vela was granted a work permit that allowed him to play in England. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger confirmed that Carlos Vela would be involved with the first team in the coming season and that he predominantly views Vela as a striker in the Eduardo mould. He wears Arsenal shirt number 12.

Vela made his competitive debut for Arsenal on 30 August 2008 in their Premier League match against Newcastle United, coming on as a substitute for Robin van Persie in the 63rd minute. Arsenal won the match 30. In his full debut on 23 September 2008 against Sheffield United in the League Cup, Vela scored a hat-trick in a 60 win with goals in the 44th, 50th and 87th minute. The match was also notable for featuring Arsenal's youngest ever side, with an average age of 19. Arsenal fans have a song for him, Jolly Good Vela, a variation of Jolly Good Fella.

Vela scored a goal on 8 March 2009 in the FA Cup Fifth Round tie against Burnley, chipping the ball over the keeper and into the goal.

In the meantime, Vela continued to play for Mexico. On 8 June 2008, Vela scored his second senior international goal for Mexico in a friendly against Peru at the 20th minute to help Mexico with their 40 victory. A match later for Mexico he scored in their qualifying opener versus Belize making the match 10. In the return leg against Belize he again scored the opening goal of the match and beginning the 70 rout in favour of Mexico.
