Mikel Arteta insists Dani Ceballos wants to return to Arsenal.
The Spain midfielder has gone back to Real Madrid after his loan spell expired, and reports claim AC Milan are trying to secure his signature.
But Arteta remains hopeful a deal can be done to bring Ceballos back to the Emirates.
“Well, we have some talks and Dani knows really well what I think about him,” said Arteta.
“He was pretty clear with me as well that his intention was to remain with us, but obviously Real Madrid is involved and I don’t know yet what they want to do with the player.
“But he’s a player that we are interested in because we really saw, in the last few months of the season, what he is capable of bringing to us.”
