Dani Ceballos has spent two seasons on loan at Arsenal but the Real Madrid midfielder has ruled out a third loan spell at the Gunners next season.
The 24-year-old has returned to Spain following the end of a disappointing campaign for the club and will only return to London if the move is a permanent one.
Ceballos revealed that he wants some stability in his career and to get that he feels a third loan move is not the best option for him.
"‘It is true that I have a contract with Real Madrid for the next two years and I would not like to go on loan to another club again. With the experience of the last two years, I am a player who needs to feel important, I would like to start next year from the beginning and feeling important, but settling down," he told Canal Sur Radio.
"So, it’s important going forward to know what you want to do. I think that a player achieves his maximum level when he is completely happy and for that he has to be 100 per cent focused on his club.
"I am 24-years-old, I am a very young player, with a lot of time still ahead of me, and the truth is that my expectations are clear: to settle in a club, feel important and enjoy football."
Ceballos has enjoyed his time in England, particularly his first spell with Arsenal that saw him lift the FA Cup in 2020 following a 2-1 win over Chelsea, a game in which the Spaniard played all 90 minutes.
"The Premier League is a very attractive league, I was lucky to be able to play in it last season and win the FA Cup, and this second season has helped me to consolidate myself," he said.
The midfielder's second spell at Arsenal has not gone as well as his first with the club, failing to secure European football for the first time in 25 years and finishing in 8th, one point behind rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
"I am very happy because I have learned a lot, I have become a better player, more complete, and I think that, although my chapter has not closed as we would have liked, with another title, I am very happy with the experience," he said.
The Spanish international has not been named in his countries squad for Euro 2020 and will be hoping the next decision in his career, whether it be to stay with Real Madrid or a permanent move away, will help him reclaim his spot in teh Spanish international set-up.
