Unai Emery doesn't mind signing players on loan so long as it improves his Arsenal team.

Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is on the verge of signing a season-long loan with the Gunners, who beat out competition from Tottenham for the 23-year-old's signature.

Emery was asked about his feelings towards using a player for just one season.

He replied: "That's work. When we are speaking about the possibility about how we can improve with some different players to achieve for us, to come here and play, it's one work for the club to work out how is the way, how is the contract with the team.

"After, when I have the player here, for me it is the same, every player they are the same, some players with contracts and some players who can't come here for long.

"For me, it is to improve our team, and we are speaking about this, [we want] to sign players only if we are convinced they are going to improve our [squad] and be able to help us with different qualities with different conditions.

"I don't know how many we are going to sign, but there is two or three, no more than four, who can improve that."
