Arsenal are increasingly unsure that they will be able to sign Mat Ryan this summer, Goal.com report.
Arsenal had Ryan on loan last term, and it was widely anticipated that the move would be made permanent.
However, the Gunners are unable to offer Ryan regular first-team football and now other suitors have arrived.
Celtic are believed to be interested in the Australian, with Goal saying other clubs are also keen.
That means that Arsenal could have to look elsewhere in their search for a new stopper.
That has seen links to both Aaron Ramsdale and Andre Onana emerge.
And it seems that Arsenal are becoming less and less sure of signing Ryan.
Not a huge blow, but a disappointment
While that may not be a major blow, it could be a disappointment for those at the club.
Ryan was a popular member of Arsenal’s dressing room, with Gabriel Martinelli labelling him a ‘top player’ on Instagram, and he earned the trust of Arteta during his spell.
He provided reliable back-up and the fact that he wouldn’t have had to transition into life, after settling in last season, would surely have made him an appealing option this summer.
