Mexican striker Carlos Vela has finally been granted his UK Work Permit and will join up with The Voyeur and Arsenal in July for pre-season training.

Vela had originally signed a five year deal with Arsenal back in November 2005 and was loaned out to Celta de Vigo, Salamanca (31 games 5 goals) and Osasuna (32 games 3 goals) before finally qualifying for the Work Permit.

He made his full debut for Mexico against Brazil in 2007 and followed that up with scoring the next match against Guatemala.  Vela was also named one of the best players at the 2007 U-20 World Cup in Canada along with teammate and Barcelona star Giovani Dos Santos.
