‘I like La Liga more’: Ceballos rules out Arsenal extension Real Madrid loanee, who joined Arsenal in 2019, claimed that his loan extension at the Emirates Stadium seems to be “difficult”.

But with the arrivals of Thomas Partey and Willian, the Spaniard fell out of favour. He made 15 appearances in 33 Premier League games this season and has netted three times, assisting thrice further. In an interview before Arsenal’s massive Europa League semi-final first leg at Villarreal, Ceballos said, “I’ve…
