Real Madrid loanee Dani Ceballos posts emotional farewell to Arsenal

Dani Ceballos has thanked Arsenal and their supporters after confirming his return to Real Madrid.

The Spanish midfielder spent two seasons on loan at the Emirates, making 77 appearances across all competitions.

Real are expected to sell Ceballos this summer, but Arsenal are not interested in a permanent deal.

"Thanks Arsenal and to all the Gunners," he wrote on Instagram.

"For welcoming me with so much love from the very first day I wore this jersey.

"For letting me experience the feeling of being a Gunner and allowing me to be part of your family all this time.

"A complicated year – for many reasons – has come to its end.

"Especially for having missed the chance of living home matches in the Emirates with our supporters. Still, I assure you that I will never forget your warmth and support in every moment.

"I am sure that Arsenal, being a historic and great team, will soon be back on top, winning championships and being a reference as it is and always has been.

This club, and especially its supporters, deserve it, and I am confident that they will achieve it.

"Thanks to all those people who are part of the team: coaches, kit men, medical staff, communications and marketing team, employees, managers and especially the supporters.

"All those persons who so often work quietly giving all they have for this great club. I want you to know that I have always worked very hard and tried my very best for this crest and this jersey.

"I wish you all the best and the success that I'm sure will come."
