Dani Ceballos has admitted that he is keen to return to La Liga for the 2021-22 campaign as he 'likes it a lot more than the Premier League'.
The 24-year-old has been on loan with Arsenal from Real Madrid since July 2019, making 74 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions, including 37 outings during the 2020-21 campaign.
The midfielder has largely struggled to make his mark at the Emirates Stadium this term, though, and he has now all but ruled out staying with Mikel Arteta's side beyond the end of the season.
"I've had a bad time because I didn't have the consistency I had last year. These last five or six games I've played at a good level," Ceballos told Onda Cero.
"To be honest I like La Liga a lot more. The Premier League is more complete but with my style, La Liga is much better for me. Another loan would be difficult from both sides, for Real Madrid and for me."
Ceballos, who has provided three assists in 23 Premier League appearances during the 2020-21 campaign, has a contract at the Bernabeu until June 2023.
