Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has warned Unai Emery that signing Dani Ceballos will present him with a major Mesut Ozil dilemma at Arsenal.
The 22-year-old is expected to join the Gunners on a season-long loan this week but Nicole believes he will strengthen an area which is not caused for concern given they have Mesut Ozil.
"I’ve got to say, when I’m looking at Arsenal, I’m thinking ‘right, they need to strengthen, no question’," Nicol said. "But their problems are all defensive, at the back and in the middle of the park. And when you’ve already got Mesut Ozil, why are you going out and getting Dani Ceballos?
"You certainly can’t play both of them in the same team. So that means you’re going to play him ahead of Ozil?
"He’s a good player yes but as I said, Arsenal’s problems aren’t going forward. They score goals, they excite the fans, but they can’t defend. Dani Ceballos doesn’t help them in that department."
