Spanish clubs interested in Carlos Vela

London: Arsenal striker Carlos Vela is believed to be a target for several La Liga clubs, who intend to lure the player to Spain, according to talkSPORT.

The 21-year-old is not high up the pecking order at the north London club, as he has Nicklas Bendtner, Robin van Persie and Marouane Chamakh ahead of him.

And the Mexico international was thought to have previously wanted a discussion with manager Arsene Wenger to clarify his situation in the squad, having not made a single start in the Premier League this season.

Atletico Madrid, Espanyol, Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal are all interested in acquiring the forward's services.

Vela has made eight substitute appearances for Arsenal this term.
