Arsenal could have a big decision on their hands when it comes to signing Dani Ceballos this summer, with Real Madrid apparently ready to sell the midfielder.

That’s according to The Times, who state that the Spanish giants are willing to sell a number of players this summer, including Ceballos and current teammate Martin Odegaard, to fund a move for Erling Haaland.

Ceballos has been with the Gunners since last season but has previously spoken of his hopes of making an impression in Madrid.  But Los Blancos appear ready to clear the decks, with Haaland the main man on their agenda.

Spaniard Ceballos, who is still only 24, has been in and out of proceedings under Mikel Arteta this season. He has, however, started only four of his 19 appearances this season for the Gunners.

Arsenal will need to decide this summer if they want to pursue Ceballos. Mikel Arteta is expected to seek a number of new signings again but as yet, doesn’t appear to have made his mind up over Ceballos.

TBR View: Ceballos is steady but are there better out there?

And that will be the big question that Arteta and Edu are weighing up. Ceballos might already be settled and does ok when called upon, but the Gunners might be able to get better in the door.

Of course, Ceballos is a good player. He impressed Robin van Persie back in 2019 after his debut. The former Gunners star praising Ceballos for his positive debut performance.

But with Madrid likely to seek a decent fee, Arsenal might be tempted to look elsewhere here.
