Dani Ceballos has ruled out staying at Arsenal.

The Real Madrid midfielder is in the midst of his second consecutive loan spell at the Emirates.

Ceballos has endured a difficult 2020/21 season and wants to return to his homeland of Spain, where he feels he's better suited as a footballer.

"I've had a bad time because I didn't have the consistency I had last year," Ceballos told Onda Cero ahead of Arsenal's Europa League semi-final tie against Villarreal on Thursday. "These last 5 or 6 games I've played at a good level.

"To be honest I like La Liga a lot more. The Premier League is more complete but with my style, La Liga is much better for me.

"Another loan would be difficult from both sides, for Real Madrid and for me."

The 24-year-old made a name for himself whilst playing for Real Betis, and Ceballos has not ruled out returning to Los Verdiblancos.

"I'm about to turn 25 in August and I have to settle at a club where I feel important, that's what I'll look for," he added.

"I have a lot of affection for Betis, I'm a Betis fan, I watch every Betis game, [Manuel] Pellegrini is a really good coach who I like."
