Lorient Linked With Loan Swoop For Arsenal's Carlos Vela

Lorient is lining up an ambitious move to bring striker Carlos Vela from Arsenal on loan, according to France Football.

Christian Gourcuff's side have reportedly shown more than a passing interest in the Mexico international and it is possible that a six-month loan deal could be negotiated.

The publication also states that the two clubs share a positive relationship, as a number of players have left Lorient to join Arsenal in recent times, with Laurent Koscielny being the most prominent transfer, as well as the likes of Gilles Sunu and Francis Coquelin.

The 22-year-old has found first-team opportunities in north London increasingly difficult to come by, and the recent arrival of Gervinho has only pushed him further down Arsene Wenger's pecking order, forcing him to branch out to West Brom on a temporary basis during the second half of last season.

The Guadalajara youth product has made 61 appearances for the Emirates outfit, scoring 11 times.
