Carlos Vela's arrival to MLS

However, Arsenal turned out to be not the best place for Vela so he was loaned to several clubs such as Celta de Vigo, Salamanca, Osasuna, West Bromwich Albion, and Real Sociedad.
It was at Real Sociedad that Vela found his best form and stayed there for five seasons, scoring 54 goals in 184 games for the club, forming an impressive duo alongside France forward Antoine Griezmann.
