Arsenal midfielder Dani Ceballos admits he sees his future with parent club Real Madrid.
The Spain midfielder played a crucial role for the Gunners last season on their way to a record 14th FA Cup triumph, and returned for a second straight loan spell at the Emirates Stadium in September after making 37 appearances for the club in 2019/20.
However, the 24-year-old has been less influential and more inconsistent this campaign and before the 4-0 win at West Brom at the weekend had started just two of the previous five Premier League matches.
“A third year on loan? No, my goal is to return to Real Madrid and be important at the best club in the world,” Ceballos told El Larguero.
“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.”
