The transfer of Dani Ceballos canceled? Arsenal boss Unai Emery reacts after Marco Asensio's injury

Unai Emery admits he does not know if the serious knee injury inflicted on Marco Asensio could wipe out Arsenal's hopes of reaching Dani Ceballos.

The Spanish international midfielder has agreed to join the Gunners through a loan agreement with Real Madrid one season.

Ceballos, 22, was due to join the Gunners before Tuesday's pre-season meet with his parent club.

And Emery was thrilled by the arrival of former Real Betis, who shone for Spain at the European Under-21 Championship this summer.

However, Asensio suffered a tear in the ACL during the meeting in Washington, which allowed Madrid to win a shootout after a 2-2 draw.

Arsenal had hoped to announce the arrival of Ceballos Thursday, its arrival in London is planned.

However, questions were asked after the match to find out if Asensio's misfortune could lead to Ceballos staying in Santiago Bernabeu – although Ceballos is often used in a deeper role than his compatriot.

Zinedine Zidane said he did not want to engage in North London: "It has not been done yet, the club is there, we will see in the next few days."

Unai Emery, boss of Arsenal, said: "I do not know.Our goal in the match was not to take injuries and they may have a big injury with Asensio, c & # 39; is bad news for them and for us too.

"I do not know if it can change anything."

Emery, however, was adamant about speculation linking top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the exit of the UAE.

The winner of the Golden League Premier League has again been the subject of interest reported by Manchester United and its pbadage in China.

But he was asked if the Gabonese could leave before the closing of the transfer window. Emery replied: "[It’s] Not really in our mind. Not really.

"We are very happy with Aubameyang and we do not want to sell it."
