Calcio Mercato claim that Arsenal and Tottenham are rivalling Serie A giants AC Miland and Roma for his signature.


Ceballos has played just 406 minutes of football this season, featuring in only 11 of Real's 23 games.

He moved to the Spanish champions from Real Betis in July as part of president Florentino Perez's vision for more home-grown players in the side.

Though he knew he had to be patient when he made the move he does not see the bit-part role as aiding the development of his game.

He could also return to his hometown club on loan for the remainder of the campaign in January.
