Arsenal striker featured on new videogame cover
To fans of the ‘FIFA’ video game series who are based in North America, look out for Carlos Vela this year!
On evidence of his summer so far, the Mexican youngster is gearing up for a big campaign – in the public eye at least.
After securing a new No. 11 squad number at Arsenal, Vela has clinched a spot amongst Kaka and American hero Landon Donovan on the official North American cover of ‘FIFA 11’.
The 21-year-old’s affiliation with EA Sport’s new realease will help increase Arsenal’s popularitly in North America, as Vela is one of few Gunners ever to enjoy such publicity in that area.
Vela will feature in the Mexican kit in a second version which will be sold in Mexico and here was the Arsenal striker accepting the recognition in his homeland.

finally some recognition !!
HAHA
Best of luck, fine boy vela!
why vela and not someone more established and proven like RVP? I don’t want to say cesc since more than likely he will be gone after this season.
This is the cover for those in North America and therefore, a Mexican player is always used.
Cesc or RVP will have to compete with Kaka for that ‘world’ place in the middle. Henry did it in 2004.
Ozil on verge of joining Barca that is how much they love you Cesc.
Walcott was ön last years cover..
Cheers mate. I guess I was only counting the last non over-hyped. 😀
Amazingly, Walcott was on the cover of the European version of FIFA 10!
You’re wrong about Vieira being the last Gunner on the FIFA cover, Theo was on FIFA 10 last year….
DB10 featured on the cover of fifa 99, in the arsenal red and white (JVC) and Sol Campbell also featured on the cover of fifa 2000 but as a spud .My 2pence…
Viktir, you bastard! As I was writing my comment, you added yours!! 😉 Got in there seconds before me.
I’d take it with a pinch of salt, appaerntly there are another two version’s of the North America cover, Also it seems a little strange that there isn’t an american player on the cover, just Mexican, Anyway, weve had a player on the cover before, Dennis Bergkamp was on the 99 cover, Sol Campbell was on the 2000 cover although he was playing for spuds at the time, 2002 had Thierry Henry on it, 2004 had Thierry Henry on it and 2005 had Patrick Vieira.
Oh yeah, and Walcott was on this years cover.
