Real Madrid have announced that Dani Ceballos has signed a new four-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The midfielder's previous deal was set to expire at the end of the month and he had been tipped to leave the Spanish capital in pursuit of regular game time - Toni Kroos has extended his contract, Luka Modric is expected to stay and Jude Bellingham's transfer from Borussia Dortmund is now complete.

But Los Blancos announced on Friday that Ceballos has put pen to paper on a new contract.
