"We're excited to see Dani join us," Emery said. "He is a talented player with big technical ability, creativity and precision."

Ceballos reportedly had other options, including offers from rival Premier League clubs, but he said the lure of playing for Emery made up his mind.

"The coach was the turning point in terms of me joining this massive club," Ceballos told Arsenal's official website.

"He's a Spanish coach and he knows me from my time at other clubs. I'm really happy to be able to help Arsenal achieve our objectives."
