Silva set for Spanish loan

The Brazilian forward still has not got a work permit to play in England after signing for the English side a little over a year ago, and may follow a similar path to that taken by Carlos Vela when he moved to the club.

Vela spent a few years on loan to various Spanish sides before obtainining a work permit to play in England. Arsene Wenger confirmed that he would be sent out on loan whilst they wait for a permit.
