Although he was overlooked under Unai Emery, Arteta reinstalled him in the starting berth. The 24 year old showed his faith by establishing a solid partnership with Granit Xhaka and providing the rightful balance between attack and defense.

Fabrizio Romano also reported that Ceballos ‘turned down three bids from Italy and Spain to re-join Arsenal’. He earlier called the Emirates stadium ‘home’ and Arsenal ‘family’ in an interview conducted on their Youtube channel. Ceballos had his heart set to return as an Arsenal player in the next campaign. It means Arsenal won’t have to fidget for a midfield signing in the transfer market.

This will also save the Gunners finances to be spend on other dealings. Gabriel Magalhaes’s deal is done and Aubameyang contract troubles are also ending. Added by Ceballos’s loan spell, Arsenal are able to construct a fine squad to lift them up to a much more fruitful season than the last.

Mikel Arteta won’t have the scarcity of last season with a more positive outlook expected from his tactical setup. It could be termed as one of the successful transfer window in the club’s history.
