West Brom first team coach Michael Appleton has declared there is no guarantee of first team football for Carlos Vela, even if the striker made his move to The Hawthorns permanent in the summer.
The Mexican international moved to the Midlands club on loan from Arsenal in January, but has made only three starts under Roy Hodgson.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Appleton said: “We don’t know what kind of transfer fee Arsenal may or may not put on Carlos’ head or whether the boy wants to come back to the football club.
“Maybe he’ll just want to go somewhere he knows he is going to play every week. I don’t think we are in a position where we can promise that.
“We’ve got a really competitive squad and want to make it even more competitive.”
