Dani Ceballos admits the father of the late Jose Antonio Reyes influenced his decision to move to Arsenal.
The midfielder revealed he'd kept his eye on the Gunners because of his "childhood idol" Reyes and the Spaniard's father helped him make his decision.
Ceballos told Arsenal's official website: This is a historic club that I've always looked out for because of Jose Antonio Reyes who is from the same town as me and played here.
He made history at this club winning the league title, so it's an important step in my career to join Arsenal.
I spoke to his [Reyes'] father just before coming here and he told me not to think twice because this is a wonderful club. Jose had a fantastic time here.
When I came into the training ground today I saw a picture of him and it really struck me because he's like my childhood idol."
