Mathew Ryan Leans On Permanent Goalkeeping Spell At Arsenal By Joseph Patrick Mathew Ryan of Arsenal
Given the choice, it appears Matthew Ryan would want to make his loan spell with Arsenal permanent.
The 29-year-old has performed well at the Emirates Stadium after he was loaned out by Brighton & Hove Albion in January.
Admittedly a boyhood fan of Arsenal, the Socceroos goalkeeper was pretty vocal about enjoying his time at the Emirates Stadium.
With his loan spell coming to a close, Ryan is hoping to continue his run with the Gunners, something that could turn out to be a permanent deal.

The Australian goalkeeper celebrating his move tweeted: Signing for the club you grew up supporting as a kid Heavy check mark @Arsenal. Buzzing to be beginning this new chapter and will give everything I’ve got to contribute to the first club I ever loved.
Maty Ryan who becomes Arsenal’s first signing of the January window will wear the number 33 jersey during his stay at the club.
