Dani Ceballos, who joined Arsenal from Real Madrid on a season-long loan last summer, gave an interview to Spanish newspaper Marca recently and spoke mostly about his time with Arsenal.

It hasn’t been going very well for the midfielder in North London. He started seven of the opening 11 Premier League games and was introduced from the bench in the other four, before suffering a torn muscle bundle which kept him out of action for the following nine. He returned to the bench for the win over Manchester United on New Year’s Day, and he hasn’t played since.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has challenged Dani Ceballos to regain full fitness and work hard to win a place in his team.

Ceballos joined the Gunners on a season-long loan from Real Madrid last summer, and so far he has racked up 17 games in the club shirt in all competitions, scoring once and assisting twice. He missed almost two months of action through a torn muscle bundle, and upon his return from injury, speculative reports appeared about him potentially wanting to cut the loan short in January. Apparently, he is very keen on securing enough game-time for Spain boss Luis Enrique to take him into account when contemplating the list of players he might want to take to the European Championship this year.  .......Read more here.....

After the failed loan switch of Barcelona’s Denis Suarez and Arsenal’s decision not to trigger the option to buy that had been inserted in that deal, the Gunners closed the deal on similar terms with Real Madrid and brought in Dani Ceballos for 2019/20. The only difference is, that apparently at the request of the player himself, no such option has been included this time as the midfielder had plans to return to Madrid and fight for a place in the Santiago Bernabeu sun.  .......Read more here.....

The dust has settled on the opening two games of Arsenal’s Premier League campaign, and there’s a lot to unpack. While there are still 36 games left for us to analyse, we think that there are a few nuggets of information that can be picked out from what has been, undoubtedly, a really positive start to the campaign for the Gunners.

Early success

Two wins out of two against Newcastle United and Burnely have set them up for a nice run as they prepare for games against Liverpool and Tottenham, which, as you can imagine, will pose them a few more problems. One of the main men heading into those encounters, and many of their games between now and the end of the season, will be Dani Ceballos.  .......Read more here.....

The real star in Arsenal’s match against Burnley was no other than Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos.

On his full Arsenal debut since joining the club in July 2019, Ceballos made two assists, which allowed his teammates Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score goals, leading Arsenal to a 2-1 win over Burnley. As far as statistics go, Ceballos is the third Arsenal player to register two or more assists on his first Premier League start for the club, which, among other things, was what got him the Man-of-the Match award in yesterday’s game.  .......Read more here.....

We’ve been waiting a while for a few major signings at the Emirates, and now, it’s finally come to fruition. As reported by BBC, Arsenal have been able to secure the signings of both William Saliba and Dani Ceballos. Saliba has joined for a fee of around £27 million and will be loaned back out to Saint-Etienne for the upcoming season, whereas Dani Ceballos will be arriving on loan from Spanish giants Real Madrid.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal’s activity in the summer transfer window has been a source of great discussion, as they attempt to negotiate their way through another tough few months at the club. A lot has been made of what could or could not happen in the next few months, with most of the hypotheticals being a little bit negative. In this instance, though, it’s hard not to celebrate just a little bit, as the Gunners edge closer and closer to securing the loan signing of Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.  .......Read more here.....

As reported by Sky Sports, Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal with Real Madrid to sign Dani Ceballos on loan.

Arsenal’s fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in taking the young midfielder to north London on a permanent basis, but apparently, a temporary move to Arsenal suits both Real and the player better. Los Blancos are keen on keeping the prospect of Ceballos playing for them again in the future alive following his excellent displays at the U-21 European Championship this year, while Ceballos feels he would have more first-team opportunities at the Emirates than at Spurs, and he also feels he may yet have a future at the Santiago Bernabeu.  .......Read more here.....

We’re back with another rumour that is lingering around the Emirates like a bad smell, because you know, it’s transfer window season and that’s just what happens. This one really does seem to be a bit of a stretch, but hey, that’s the way of the game. The ‘rumour’ that we’re referring to links the Gunners to Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos, who is said to be very interested in a move away from the club – but only on loan.  .......Read more here.....

North London club Arsenal have decided to step into the race for Real Madrid midfield talent Dani Ceballos, according to various reports.

The 21-year-old is enduring a frustrating time at Santiago Bernabeu and could be out of Madrid this January in search of regular playing time and Arsenal are one of the clubs currently linked with a move for him.

Ceballos joined Los Blancos this summer after a brilliant Under-21 European Championship campaign as part of Florentino Perez’s plan to add more homegrown players to Real Madrid squad.  .......Read more here.....
