Dani Ceballos' future at Arsenal has been called into question over the past week.
His loan deal at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of the season and there's talk of him leaving before January transfer window closes on Friday.
The Spain international, who hasn't featured since November 6, even teased an exit following the Gunners' 2-2 draw against Chelsea - a game which he was once again an unused substitute.
Commenting on Hector Bellerin's Instagram post, he suggested a permanent move to the Emirates Stadium at the end of his loan stint is unlikely.
"I'll miss those goals with the left foot bro! You deserve all the good that happens to you," he wrote
Furthermore, AS claimed last week that the midfielder told parent club Real Madrid to find him another club this month, as he is desperate for regular game time in order to seal his place in the Spain squad for the European Championships in the summer.
However, Ceballos certainly didn't give off the impression that he's unhappy at the club.
In fact, it was the total opposite as he took part in a training session at London Colney over the weekend ahead of the Gunners' FA Cup fourth round tie away at Bournemouth on Monday night.
As seen in the images below, Ceballos is all smiles alongside David Luiz, Gabriel Martinelli, Hector Bellerin and Lucas Torreira.
And it would appear that Ceballos will have no choice other than to remain at Arsenal for the remainder of the season.
This is because the Daily Mirror are reporting that 'Real Madrid have a made a decision regarding his future' and that is to block a transfer to Valencia as they don't want to strengthen a La Liga rival.
Amid talk of his loan spell being terminated, Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta had a message for Ceballos.
"I had a conversation with Dani," Arteta revealed in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon."When I joined the club he wasn't here, he was in Madrid because he doing his rehab for over a month with the team that owns him.
"Then when I came here he was doing rehab, the first two or three weeks, he was getting back to fitness, but I haven’t seen much of him because he has only trained with us a week or ten days.
"So it's very early to assess what I can and can't do with him.
"I heard all about those things [about wanting to leave] but I have nothing to comment.
"He needs to get back to fitness, fight for his place like in any other team, and after that I’ll make the selection that I think is fair with what I see on the pitch."
