Arsenal transfer news: Dani Ceballos move confirmed as Real Madrid star joins on loan

The midfielder will link up with Unai Emery's side for the season in search of game time to continue his development

Dani Ceballos‘ loan to Arsenal has been confirmed with the Real Madrid star linking up with the Gunners for the 2019/20 season.

The Spain Under-21 international shone this summer at the European Under-21 Championships, inspiring La Rojita to the title.

The 22-year-old will wear No 8 at the Emirates.

“The decision has been made,” Ceballos declared. ”This season I will be a gunner!

“I am anxious to start. Hello Arsenal. Here I am.”

“We’re excited to see Dani join us. He is a talented player with big technical ability, creativity and precision,” said Unai Emery.

Ceballos joins Gabriel Martinelli as new signings this summer, with Emery still looking to be busy in the final days of the window.
