Arsenal "first race for Dani Ceballos"

Arsenal would have emerged as leading runners to sign Dani Ceballos of real Madrid this summer.

Although preferring to stay in Bernabeu for the long term, Ceballos would be open to a loan exit before the new campaign to win a regular first team action.

Tottenham Hotspur have already been suggested as favorites to win the race for the player, who has just played for Spain under 21 at the Championship of Europe.

however, Marca say that it is Arsenal who is most likely to sign the 22-year-old player, rather than his rivals from North London.

Unai Emery can see Ceballos as a simple replacement for Aaron Ramsey, who joined Juventus in free transfer.

It is also said that gunners pursue a real attacker Lucas Vazquez, while Mariano Diaz is another Los Blancos player who could move to the Emirates Stadium.
