Mikel Arteta is ready to build a new-look Arsenal this summer but signing Dani Ceballos on a permanent deal would be his MOST important capture... the Spaniard ran the show in the FA Cup final and teams are lining up to snatch the Real Madrid loanee

Nobody who followed Spain's progress at the 2017 Under 21 European Championships will have been surprised by Dani Ceballos' masterly display at Wembley that helped Arsenal claim their fourth FA Cup in six years.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's double in the final against Chelsea highlighted Arsenal's need to agree a new contract with their top scorer, yet securing a deal for Ceballos – who spent last season on loan from Real Madrid – is surely just as important.

Since the restart, Ceballos has been a model of consistency in Mikel Arteta's improving, though unpredictable, Arsenal team – just as he was in Poland three years ago.
