Arsenal travel to Greece on Thursday night to face Olympiacos – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have claimed they want to see Dani Ceballos start in the midfield.

The Gunners are taking on Olympiacos in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 32 tie, with the second meeting a week later at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s side need to try overturn a seven-point deficit in the Premier League if they want to finish in the top four, which is why winning the Europa League may present their best opportunity to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

A selection of Arsenal supporters on social media have said they want to see Ceballos start against Olympiacos.

The 23-year-old did start on Sunday against Newcastle, but that was his first start in any game since November.

He was sidelined for a couple of months through injury, but has been back since the start of January and spent most of the time watching from the bench.

Ceballos is a Spanish midfielder on loan for the season from Real Madrid and he reminded everyone of his quality with a composed display against Newcastle.

There are many who want to see more from the deep-lying playmaker and want Arteta to stick with him.
