Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is set to return to Arsenal on loan, Fabrizio Romano reports.
The 24-year-old has reportedly turned three offers from Italy and Spain down.
Dani Ceballos Returning to Arsenal on Loan
Only Arsenal
Dani Ceballos will return to the Emirates Stadium for the 2020/21 season. The Spanish midfielder spent the whole of the 2019/20 season with the club and is going to return for a second loan spell.
He has rejected advances from abroad and is claimed to have responded to those offers with “Only Arsenal”.
Ceballos will no doubt be looking to secure a place in Spain’s squad for Euro 2020, which will be played in the summer of 2021.
Luis Enrique did not name Ceballos among his squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures, so the former Real Betis midfielder has work to do to get back in his thoughts.
He has featured nine times for his country so far.
How 2019/20 Spell Went
Ceballos’ first loan spell at Arsenal was mixed. He’s been through three managers and the club finished in an unacceptable league position, however, they ended the season with silverware.
He earnt his FA Cup medal too, featuring in wins over Manchester City and Chelsea in the semi-final and final respectively.
Arsenal have looked a different side since Arteta’s arrival. Despite, some slip-ups they have managed to look like they are working towards something, and silverware will only help that cause.
Arsenal’s 2020/21 campaign has already begun, just as the last one ended. They were victorious at Wembley, all be it, via a penalty shootout, when beating Liverpool to the Community Shield. It may just be the Community Shield – but overcoming the Premier League champions at Wembley, added to the successful FA Cup campaign, will help breed the mentality Arteta promises to return to Arsenal.
Ceballos made 37 appearances in his first spell with the Gunners, despite missing over a month with injury last winter.
