Imama Amapakabo: Why Andre Onana should consider Arsenal move
Andre Onana leaving Ajax and joining Arsenal would be “a good move” for the Cameroon international, according to former Nigeria U23 coach Imama Amapakabo. The Gunners have held discussions with the 25-year-old’s representatives, albeit, they have yet to decide whether they will step up their chase of the goalkeeper. Arsenal was on the lookout for a keeper following the departure of Emiliano Martinez in September 2020 and the underwhelming form of summer recruit Alex Runarsson. Despite technical director Edu and Mikel Arteta being big admirers of Onana, financial issues prevented the North London outfit from making a firm offer, instead they opted to sign Mat Ryan on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. Amapakabo – who was a goalkeeper during his active career – and was part of the Nigeria...
Celtic aiming to beat Arsenal to signing of Premier League star with 58 international caps
Celtic are aiming to beat Arsenal in the race to sign Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Mat Ryan this summer, Football Insider reports. The Australia international fell out of favour with the Seagulls during the first half of last season, where Robert Sanchez jumped ahead of him in the pecking order. He was subsequently loaned out to the Gunners in January. Ryan made only three appearances for the north London club as the back-up shot-stopper. They are keen on re-signing him permanently, but the Hoops are aiming to beat them by offering Ryan a long-term contract and the number one role. Ryan has just one year remaining on his Brighton contract, and he could be available for a fee between £3-5 million during the summer transfer window. Sportslens view: Ryan barely played for the Gu...
Report: Celtic eye move for £35k-per-week Arsenal target, he is expected to leave the club
Celtic are reportedly considering a move for Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan this summer. According to reports from Sky Sports, the Bhoys are eyeing a move for the 29-year-old goalkeeper who is expected to leave the club. After a disappointing 2020-21 campaign, Celtic are looking to rebuild under new manager Ange Postecoglou. Signing a new goalkeeper is a priority for the Hoops and Postecoglou is keen to work with Ryan again following their time together with the Australia national side. At this moment, no formal discussion has taken place between both parties. His contract at Brighton is up next summer, and a move away from the club is likely. The 29-year-old wants to be a first-choice keeper at his next club, and therefore he is weighing up his options carefully before decid...
Arsenal find breakthrough over a permanent transfer deal for on-loan star
Arsenal have negotiated a fee with Brighton & Hove Albion over the permanent signing of goalkeeper Mat Ryan this summer, Football Insider reports. The Australian made the surprise loan move to the north London club in January, and he has since turned out on two occasions. His debut came against Aston Villa in the Premier League in February, where he produced a solid display with seven saves. His second appearance was against Fulham last weekend. He managed a crucial header in the box as the club equalised in second-half stoppage time. Earlier yesterday, it was claimed that the Gunners were in advanced talks to sign Ryan permanently. It is now reported that they will pay an initial fee between £3-5 million. Brighton will include a few add-ons, but the package will be significantly less ...
‘Great character’, ‘Thank you’: Some Arsenal fans react to 28-year-old’s performance vs Fulham
A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter reacted to Mat Ryan’s late impact against Fulham in the Premier League which contributed to the equalising goal. The Gunners had a tough derby against the Cottagers, and they were denied a goal before the interval for a tight offside decision adjudged by VAR. The Cottagers scored against the run of play in the 59th minute via the penalty spot. The Gunners could consider themselves unfortunate, given there was little to no contact from Gabriel Magalhaes on Mario Lemina. They managed to get something out of the game in the final seconds of stoppage time as Eddie Nketiah scored from a rebound of a Dani Ceballos shot. The chance was created by Ryan, who produced a lovely flicked header for Ceballos. That pleased some of the faithful, and here are a few re...
‘Superb’, ‘Looked good’: Some Arsenal fans praise 28-year-old’s display vs Aston Villa
A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter have appreciated the performance of goalkeeper Mat Ryan during the club’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to Aston Villa on the road. The Australia international made his Gunners debut in the absence of the suspended Bernd Leno and he conceded a goal within 74 seconds from the start. Ryan had not touched the ball before the Villans went ahead and he could not do much for the goal after Ollie Watkins’ shot deflected from his path after Rob Holding’s intervention. The 28-year-old put up a solid performance thereafter with as many as seven saves and that included three impressive ones which kept the Gunners in the game. After a good beginning to the year, the Gunners have lost momentum in recent weeks and they have picked up just one point from the last three ...
Arsenal agree deal with Real Madrid for Martin Ødegaard
Real Madrid playmaker Martin Ødegaard will join Arsenal on loan for the rest of the season after the clubs agreed to terms this evening. That is according to The Athletic, who report that a temporary move has now been given the green light by both parties. The Norwegian will fly to London on Sunday ahead of undergoing a medical with the Gunners on Monday morning, when it is expected the deal will be made official. Given his status as an elite sportsperson, Ødegaard is also exempt from COVID-19 quarantine protocols, meaning he will not have to self isolate, if he returns a negative test. The 22-year-old will be Arsenal’s second signing of the window after the acquisition of Mat Ryan from Brighton.
