Major League Soccer (MLS) outfit LAFC (Los Angeles FC) have exercised the option in the contract of Carlos Vela at the club. Carlos Vela has spent the last four seasons at LAFC and there's an option in his contract for a fifth season at the club. LAFC made the decision to exercise that option earlier this week meaning that the Mexican striker is obligated to spend a fifth season at the club.

LAFC confirmed on Wednesday that they have activated the option for a fifth season in Carlos Vela's contract. LAFC made the move in time before the November 30 deadline for non-playoff teams to reveal their roster moves to the MLS. LAFC had an average regular season in the MLS this year and didn't make the playoffs as a result.

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) attacker Carlos Vela is among the best-selling MLS jerseys this season. This is remarkable considering the fact that the Mexican international missed a big part of the MLS Regular Season this year due to injuries.

MLS recently unveiled the best-selling jerseys for this year in conjunction with Jersey Week and Carlos Vela was third on the list for the best-selling adidas jerseys on MLSstore.com.

Carlos Vela was beaten by just the duo of Peruvian striker Raul Ruidiaz and Josef Martinez of Venezuela.

Atlanta United star Martinez is the player with the most jersey sales in the MLS this year, while Seattle Sounders attacker Ruidiaz is in second place.

Mexican striker Carlos Vela could make his long-awaited return from injury when Los Angeles FC (LAFC) take on Seattle Sounders later this week.

Mexican national team forward Carlos Vela spent almost seven years at Spanish La Liga club Real Sociedad and he didn't win any trophy during his time with the Basque outfit. Carlos Vela initially joined Real Sociedad on loan from Premier League giants Arsenal before the transfer was made permanent in the summer of 2012.

Arsenal won the race to sign a young Carlos Vela ahead of several European teams in 2005. He moved to the Gunners from Guadajalara in his native Mexico in 2005 and went on to spend seven years as an Arsenal player before joining Spanish La Liga club Real Sociedad in 2012 for an undisclosed fee.

Carlos Vela signed for the Gunners in November 2005. The Mexican international put pen to paper on a five-year deal at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal paid £125,000 for Carlos Vela and it rose to £550,000 when he played 50 games for the North London side.

Carlos Vela may no longer be an Arsenal player, but he is still a fan and continues to follow the Gunners, according to what he has to say about the recent changes at the club. The Los Angeles Galaxy striker has always had something to say about his time at the Emirates Stadium and even though he didn't have an enjoyable spell at the club, he insists that he still holds fond memories of his time in England. In his recent conversation regarding Arsenal, the striker says that he has been following the club's activities on social media in recent times and has been impressed to see that they have been making progress lately.

Los Angeles Galaxy striker Carlos Vela has vented out his frustration about always being asked whether he will be leaving the club anytime soon and has also moved to give a response following the circulation of those rumors. The forward has established himself as not only the best player at LA Galaxy but also as one of the best strikers in the Major League Soccer in recent years but there have always been rumors that he could be leaving the club if he gets another offer to play for another club.

English Premier League side Arsenal have had hard luck in recent times both on and off the pitch and it has continued to take a big toll on the club's progress. The Gunners have continued to drift far away from the big-name clubs in the English Premier League and according to the recent happenings around them, it's not looking like they will be bouncing back immediately anytime soon.

Just recently, the north London club were said to be interested in signing Argentine attacking midfielder Emiliano Buendia from recently promoted side Norwich City but the deal fell through and they eventually missed out on signing the player. Aston Villa were the eventual winners in the race to sign the player and it further showed how Arsenal have slowed down in recent years in terms of completing several decisions regarding on-field and off-field activities.
