Unai Emery has been watching Dani Ceballos for a long time

DBasia.news –  Arsenal are getting closer to borrowing Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid. According to Unai Emery, Arsenal manager, he has been monitoring him for a long time and the club is trying to complete his transfer.

Real Madrid landed Dani Ceballos in 2017. At that time, Los Merengues spent 16.5 million euros to be given to Real Betis.

However, Dani Ceballos cannot compete with other Madrid midfielders such as Luka Modric, Casemiro and Toni Kroos. Understandably, the player is still young and does not have many flight hours.

Real Madrid decided to lend Dani Ceballos this season. El Real hopes that Ceballos can come back with more experience and abilities.

Arsenal and AC Milan reportedly elbow each other to get the player’s service. The Gunners finally won because Ceballos was not interested in playing in Milan.

Unai Emery welcomed the news with a smile on her face. According to him, Dani Ceballos was a great player because he managed to bring the Spanish Under-21 national team to win the Under-21 European Cup.

“We talked about the possibility of bringing in players on loan. We also have different names,” Emery said as reported by Goal.

“The club is trying to complete it (the negotiation process). Ceballos is a very good player. I know him while still at Real Betis and also Real Madrid,” added the Spanish manager.

“He played very well with the Spanish Under-21 national team. They managed to win the competition,” he said.

Besides Dani Ceballos, Arsenal are also still trying to hook Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace. Reportedly, Palace has not given the green light because Arsenal’s offer is still far from expectations.
