As The Gunning Hawk reported last August, Mexican striker Carlos Vela has extended his stay, at Arsenal.

The youngster, who was in action last Wednesday away at Olympiakos declared he’s very happy and will work hard to achieve important objectives with the rest of the side.

Vela said:

I’m very happy to sign a new contract and I’m very excited to be spending more years with Arsenal Football Club. I just want to work hard and help this great Club win trophies. I want to stay here for a long time and it’s a great responsibility. I will keep working hard to show the Boss and all the fans why I’m here.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was also delighted to see the Mexican commit for a long-term period, and said:

We are delighted Vela has signed, he is a fantastic talent, we have already seen glimpses of this in his performances.
