13-1-11: Arsenal's Wellington has been loaned out to a Spanish club to get extra experience while he waits for a work permit.
Similarly, Carlos Vela was loaned out to Celta Vigo, Salamanca and Osasuna, before returning to the UK to become a bit-part player at Arsenal, set for a loan deal to another English club.
Still, Vela is only 21 now, so may go on to be an Arsenal great one day, despite many fans' misgivings.
Meanwhile, Wellington's loan deal at Levante has been officially announced on the Arsenal website. The statement read: "Arsenal has established a long-term strategy for identifying the best talent from around the world.
"This process has worked well in the past with players such as Carlos Vela.
"The club is confident it is the best approach for developing Wellington's potential."
