Dani Ceballos affirms that he wants to become an important player at Real Madrid once his second stint on loan at Arsenal comes to end.

Arsenal's Dani Ceballos has insisted that he wants to make a name for himself at Real Madrid when his second loan spell at the Emirates comes to an end.

Despite playing an important role for the Gunners during their FA Cup-winning 2019-20 campaign, Ceballos has struggled to make as much of an impact this season.

With the likes of Mohamed Elneny, Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka often ahead of the 24-year-old in the pecking order, Real Madrid are reportedly considering an early recall as he finds himself in and out of Mikel Arteta's team.

The Spaniard has since talked up a return to the Bernabeu, telling Spanish radio programme El Larguero: "A third year on loan? No, my goal is to return to Real Madrid and be important at the best club in the world.

"I believe that one day I will come back and be able to return the affection that the fans showed me. For various reasons, I didn't leave the club in the best manner."

Ceballos played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal's 4-0 thrashing of West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, but the midfielder has started just nine of the Gunners' 17 Premier League games this term.
