Arsenal Dealt Dani Ceballos Transfer Blow as Real Madrid Plan Rejuvenation Project

Arsenal could miss out on the chance to sign loanee Dani Ceballos on a permanent basis next summer as his parent club Real Madrid want to integrate the Spain international back into their first-team next season.

The 23-year-old has been an instant hit in north London and fans have been calling for Ceballos to join the club permanently ever since his full debut against Burnely, having since gone on the score his first Arsenal goal and pick up two assists.

But Arsenal might not be given an opportunity to even enter talks with Ceballos' parent club, as Madrid-based outlet AS claims that the midfielder is among five players who will be part of a rejuvenation project at the Santiago Bernabéu next season.
