Arsenal are looking to extend Dani Ceballos's loan deal, according to reports.

The Spaniard has featured in all eight Premier League games since joining the Gunners on a season-long loan.

Ceballos hinted this week that he would be open to leaving Real Madrid for Arsenal on a permanent basis.

However, Real would likely demand a huge fee for the 23-year-old, which does not suit the frugal North London outfit.

Instead El Confidential says Arsenal are exploring the option of extending Ceballos' loan by another season.

That might not suit Los Blancos however as the La Liga giants are already speaking like Ceballos is not their player.

Real would likely seek a fee similar to the £40.3m paid by Chelsea for Mateo Kovacic.
