Newcastle, Real Betis battle for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos

Newcastle United are eyeing Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.

Ceballos is frustrated over a lack of regular minutes this season in Madrid and is ready to push for a departure this summer, says Mundo Deportivo.

The midfielder has been linked with a return to former club Real Betis.

However, they face competition from Newcastle, where Ceballos has been mentioned as a replacement for Bruno Guimaraes.

Such a move would mark a Premier League return for Ceballas, who played 77 times for Arsenal, scoring two goals and providing five assists.
