Dani Ceballos reveals what he's most looking forward to about playing at Arsenal

Dani Ceballos has been in England for a month now since joining Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid.

The midfielder has impressed with his early displays for the club, particularly against Burnley where he set up both of the Gunners' goals on the day.

The 23-year-old will only be in the capital for one year if things go to plan for him; he wants to be a Real Madrid star in the long-term.

However, while he is in London, Ceballos says that he's looking forward to something uniquely British in the footballing calendar: the festive fixtures.

Ceballos says he is adapting well, and while he knows that an English winter is slightly more difficult than the summer, he's eagerly anticipating the chaotic period of Premier League football.

"In three months I'll be able to have a conversation," he told reporters in Spain .

"I've been warned about the cold. But I love football here, the way they live and breathe it. I've never seen anything like it. You play away and there are at least a thousand fans supporting you.

"I don't care if it's raining or snowing. I'm looking forward to playing every three days over Christmas. It's a great experience.

"I don't know what I'll say in a year but now I'm happy. They see the game like I do; I love football like they do. They respect you and a player has to feel wanted. You applaud them and they applaud you back."
