Carlos Vela has clarified his comments over his future with Arsenal, and the striker says he doesn't want to discuss the possibility of a permanent transfer until the end of the season.

Vela made a loan move from the Gunners to Real Sociedad in Spain, and in 28 appearances since he has so far scored nine goals.

At the start of April, the 23 year old admitted that he hopes to stay playing for Real for longer, telling reporters at the time: "I would stay at Real. I am happy and the people support me.

"I owe Arsenal affection and gratitude for the opportunity that they gave me, but I was not happy there and this affected my work."
