Emery cools talk of Arsenal planning £30m Ceballos deal with Real Madrid

Unai Emery has fended off questions regarding Arsenal’s reported interest in doing a £30 million ($39m) deal for Dani Ceballos, with the Gunners boss claiming it is “too soon” to discuss a potential agreement.

The Spain international arrived at Emirates Stadium over the summer on a season-long loan and, having been deemed surplus to requirements at Real Madrid, the 23-year-old was happy to take on a new challenge in England.

A bright start to his time in north London has seen many call for him to be snapped up permanently, with questions asked of Emery’s decision to bench Ceballos for a 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United.
