According to AS, Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is one step away from joining Arsenal on a season-long loan in what would be a huge blow to Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites want the European under-21 Championships winner, while AC Milan are also keen, but he has decided to link up with the Gunners. Ceballos’ decision to choose Unai Emery’s side ahead of Mauricio Pochettino’s is most likely down to playing minutes, as he is assured of seeing regular action at Arsenal compared to Tottenham. AS claims the Emirates Stadium outfit have shown more interest in signing the 22-year-old although it seemed that Spurs had everything tied to snap him up.
