North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly both interested in signing out-of-favour Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos in January.

Ceballos starred for Spain at the Under-21 European Championships during the summer, winning the Player of the Tournament award as his side finished as runners-up to Germany.

However, the 21-year-old has failed to work his way into Zinedine Zidane's first-team plans at Madrid since his summer switch from Real Betis, starting just two La Liga matches so far and featuring in only 11 of their 23 outings across all competitions.

Diario Gol reports that the youngster is already looking for a way out of the Bernabeu in search of more regular first-team football, alerting a number of clubs around Europe.

Arsenal and Spurs are among those to have been credited with an interest in Ceballos, although they could face competition from the likes of AC Milan and Roma in Serie A.

Ceballos has also been linked with a loan move back to Betis for the remainder of the season, having previously spent six years at the club since the age of 15.
