Dani Ceballos has made quite the impression at the Emirates this season after snubbing a move to Tottenham over the summer in favour of joining Unai Emery’s side.
The 23-year-old has featured in all four of the Gunners’ Premier League fixtures, starring in the 2-1 win over Burnley last month.
The midfielder’s good form resulted in a national call-up, with Robert Moreno handing Ceballos a start in the European qualifier against Romania on Thursday evening.
Spain ran out 2-1 winners, and Ceballos’ brilliant vision early into the second half was a standout moment in the match.
His ability to pick out Jordi Alba with an exquisite pass with the outside of his boot allowed the left-back to find Paco Alcacer, who doubled the lead for Moreno’s side.
@Gunnersc0m shared the passage of play involving the Arsenal star on social media, and these fans were quick to praise the midfielder.

Ceballos’ excellent pass won’t come as a surprise to many. The youngster has shown plenty of promise during his opening four games in an Arsenal shirt, with many expecting the midfielder to improve further over the coming months.
The Spaniard could find himself in a battle with Mesut Ozil for a starting attacking midfield role, and more individual pieces of brilliance like this will only strengthen his case in becoming a key man and a real fan favourite this season.
