Club career
Born in Utrera, Province of Seville, Ceballos joined Sevilla FC's youth system in 2004, aged eight, but was released in 2009 due to a chronic bronchus problem.[1] He subsequently played for hometown's CD Utrera, and signed for Real Betis in 2011;[2] with the latter he signed a professional deal on 22 February 2014, while still a junior.[3]
On 26 April 2014, without even appearing for the B-side, Ceballos appeared in his first official game with the Andalusians' main squad, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 La Liga home loss against Real Sociedad.[4] On 21 December he scored his first professional goal, netting the first of a 2–0 home win against Racing de Santander for the Segunda División championship.[5]
International career
On 5 November 2014 Ceballos was called up to Spain under-19s,[6] appearing against Germany, France[7] and Greece.[8]
He made his debut for the under-21 team on 26 March 2015, replacing Samu Castillejo at half time in a 2–0 friendly win over Norway in Cartagena, Murcia.[9] Four days later in León, he made his first start in a 4–0 win against Belarus.[10]
