Hector Bellerin has backed Dani Ceballos to shine for Arsenal after describing his compatriot as one of the most impressive footballers he has ever seen.
Ceballos joined Arsenal on a season-long loan deal from Real Madrid this summer, and has made a big impression early on at the Emirates.
Despite his pre-season preparations being hampered by an injury problem, Ceballos put in a man-of-the-match performance during Arsenal's 2-1 win over Burnley on August 17.
The Spainiard had a quieter game during Arsenal's 3-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield last Saturday, but hopes are high in north London that the 23-year-old can become a crucial player for Unai Emery this season.
Speaking before Arsenal's defeat on Merseyside, Bellerin said of Ceballos: "I think Dani's one of the best players I've seen in my career.
"I've played with him since we were like 18 or 19 years old. We've played in the under-21s, we get on really well off the pitch.
"He's a great player, I think he's going to be a great addition to the team and the Premier League is going to be very different to any other league, but he's shown in training that he's ready for it.

"He's up for it and he's a player who will go through thick and thin to do the best for his team. He's got a great heart and he plays for everyone around him. I think he's a great addition."
Bellerin is currently on the comeback trail after suffering a serious knee injury against Chelsea in January, though he faces a fight to win back a starting role with Ainsley Maitland-Niles impressing at right-back.
