West Brom have completed the signing of Arsenal striker Carlos Vela on loan.

The Mexico international had been made available on a temporary basis by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, and the Baggies have beaten off rivals to secure the 21-year-old's signature until the end of the season.

Vela has made 13 appearances for Arsenal this year, scoring three goals.

He has played 33 times for his country, managing nine goals.
