Moyes praises Vela, says Mexico forward staying at Real Sociedad

The Scottish manager says Carlos Vela is very important to the San Sebastian outfit and will not leave this summer.

Carlos Vela is integral to Real Sociedad and won't leave during this summer transfer window, according to manager David Moyes.

The Scottish boss was asked if the Mexican forward will stay with the team and said that while Vela is still dealing with a knee problem he's a crucial member of the San Sebastian side.

"Yes, definitely. He’ll be a Real Sociedad player," Moyes said at a news conference Friday ahead of Real Sociedad's meeting with Sporting Gijon.
