Arsenal midfielder Dani Ceballos has no plans of returning to parent club Real Madrid.

AS says his bad relationship with Real coach Zinedine Zidane means he will opt against deciding to head back as Arsenal pursue a permanent transfer.

Ceballos joined Arsenal on loan in the summer and has become a hit with fans despite a tough start to their campaign.

He moved to Real Madrid for €14m from Real Betis and they are said to want at least treble that amount - €42m - in order to make a profit and cover the wages he has been paid.

Arsenal are believed to be looking to pay closer to €35m in order to keep the 23-year-old at the club after his instant impact.
