Ceballos wants to prove himself to ‘brilliant’ Arteta

Arsenal midfielder Dani Ceballos felt angry at not being able to help former coach Unai Emery, but is determined to prove himself to new boss Mikel Arteta and pay back fans for their support.

The playmaker, on loan from Real Madrid, missed over two months with a hamstring injury and has been on the bench of late but not yet played under Arteta, who took over in December after leaving his job as Manchester City’s assistant head coach.

“Mikel will be a brilliant coach. He has learned from Pep (Guardiola, Manchester City coach), he has a philosophy of play which I think I fit perfectly. It’s true he arrived in a difficult situation of the club, but mentally he’s exactly the kind of coach Arsenal need right now,” Ceballos told Marca newspaper.
