da 888casino： It was an important 1-0 victory for Arsenal against West Ham on Saturday.
da dobrowin： The Gunners were not exactly dominant – they may have managed 68% possession, but were able to muster up just two shots on target compared to six from the Hammers – but all that matters is that they picked up the three points.
Alexander Lacazette is the man they have to thank, although Dani Ceballos’ display will surely have also pleased Mikel Arteta.

It was an almost flawless display in the middle of the park from the on-loan Real Madrid midfielder. With 121 touches, he led the way by a fair distance, and an 87% pass accuracy indicates that he was tidy when he had the ball at his feet. He also managed one key pass, too.
Surprisingly, it was his defensive play that most caught the eye. He made six interceptions and five tackles, whilst he also prevailed in all eight of the duels he contested.
Ceballos, of course, is only with Arsenal until the end of the campaign, having joined on a season-long loan from the Santiago Bernabeu outfit.
As it stands, Arsenal have not yet held discussions on whether they want to attempt to make his move permanent, as Arteta has admitted. However, he is currently giving the north London outfit’s hierarchy a decision to make, and they may want to think about showing their hand.
Arteta has few passers like Ceballos. In fact, no-one has managed a higher pass accuracy than his 88.9% this season for the Gunners.
A lot of it depends on whether he wants to stay at the Emirates Stadium, but if he does, then Arsenal must make their move. There is still plenty of room for improvement but under Arteta, Ceballos could well fulfil his potential.
Meanwhile, Gunners fans drool over this reported transfer target.
