Arsenal have announced the signing of Brightongoalkeeper Mat Ryan on loan until the end of the season. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta announced earlier this month he was in the market for a goalkeeper. And he has chosen Australia international Ryan as the man to provide backup to No 1 Bernd Leno.
Ryan has not been in a Brighton match day squad since the 3-0 loss at Leicester on December 13.
The 28-year-old started the first 11 Premier League matches of the season but has been replaced as No 1 by Robert Sanchez.
On the deal to bring Ryan to the Emirates, Arsenal technical director Edu said: “Mat is an experienced goalkeeper, a proven talent in the Premier League and has also played many internationals for Australia.
"Mat will further strengthen our squad with his experience and knowledge of playing at the highest level.
"Following Matt Macey’s recent move to Hibernian, Mat will provide very good competition and positive support to all our goalkeepers and we are looking forward to him integrating quickly into the set-up here at Arsenal.”
Ryan has made 121 Premier League appearances since joining Brighton in 2017.
And manager Arteta says that helped in his decision to sign him.
Arteta said: “We know Mat very well through his performances with Brighton in recent seasons and he brings additional quality to our squad.
"Mat has very good Premier League experience and has played over 100 times in the league, which is something that will benefit us greatly on and off the pitch.
"We welcome Mat to Arsenal and look forward to working with him this season.”
Ryan, who will wear the No 33 shirt, has revealed that he grew up as an Arsenal fan in Australia.
“There's still an aura of surrealness to it all, to be honest,” Ryan told Arsenal.com.
“I’m really proud, it's great and it's hard to sort of put into words the emotions and feeling that this is becoming a reality.
“All those mornings as a young kid in Australia, getting up to watch the Champions League games and all that at four o'clock in the morning when I had school and these types of things.
"The support back in the Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp days, all these sorts of things, to now be here fills me with a great sense of pride and achievement."
Arsenal allowed Emiliano Martinez to leave the club last summer, joining Aston Villa for a fee of around £20million.
The Gunners brought in Iceland international Runar Alex Runarsson from French side Dijon to replace Martinez.
However, Runarsson has put in a number of shaky performances in the appearances he has made in cup competitions, including a shocking error in the Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City.
Runarsson could leave the club on loan this month following Ryan's arrival.
Arsenal are also reportedly close to signing midfielder Martin Odegaard on loan from Real Madrid.
The Gunners are claimed to have beaten Real Sociedad to the signing of the Norwegian.

Ozil's contract is up in the summer and he has previously vowed to see out the mega-money deal he signed in January 2018. The playmaker earns £350,000-a-week and will earn loyalty bonuses if he stays past the January transfer window.
Initially the playmaker got stuck between the lines choose between MLS DC United and Fenerbahçe who we're interested in him but early reports shows Ozïl was to fly to Istanbul to see to an agreement.
About an hour ago reports shows Mesut Ozil has signed a 3.5 year contract with Fenerbahçe of which Arsenal will pay his first 6 months salary till the summer.

I don't know what is wrong with Arteta and the team, they look so disorganized like they don't train together, Don't see Arteta taking this club to where it ought to be in the next 5 years

Ha! You be idiot o lol! Werey say "i don't want to let her go because you've invested so much in her".....
She don turn recharge card business now.
Seems like you already know what to do, why are you still coming here to ask for suggestions?

Misterdhee1:

Bye please. You have comprehension issues and I am not the ideal person to help you on that.

Go and fight the government, hopefully you will win and entrench the desired change. Best of luck.

Man shut up! Yeah you can run along now!
You’ve got no idea, you keep saying the protest is not the solution, fine! tell us the solution. Your next line is always “ You have comprehension issues” is that a new sentence you just learnt you bellend?! ffs
Protesters are getting arrested as your so called judicial panels are convening, quite some numbers of police brutality cases has popped up online after the protest recently(can never count as solution)

Misterdhee1:

Chaii.. Seems you have comprehension issues. Read the comment you quoted again. I vividly stated that Nigerians aren't organized to differentiate between real protesters and hoodlums - not even in a protest that was all about police operations. Protesting against police, despite the need, is a perfect avenue for hoodlums to take over and they expectedly did when the protest was prolonging too much than necessary. You remember the end results right?

Until we all understand that brash approaches aren't necessarily the best approach to issues, we will still be here fighting the same basic problem over and over again.

Your statements keep contradicting each other, anyways brings me back to the first question again but this time, let me use your words against you.
Which approach is the best approach to these issues?

Insecurity strikes again

Misterdhee1:

What has the previous round of protests (since forever in the country) achieved? Have you lost a loved one before to issues that could have been avoided? If you have answers to those two questions, then you can easily enlighten yourself.

Btw, what right are being trampled upon? We asked for Sars to be disbanded, it has been done. Policemen lost their lives as much as innocent protesters. A judicial panel is also currently sitting on issues that arose from the protests. If you think anarchy (anarchy because the average Nigerian is never organized to conduct a long-term organized protest) is the best way to fight a government in power, then best of luck in your attempts.

I don't believe some people are in Nigeria and can't figure out what's really happening in the country.
If you think people who had the real spirit of the protest in them or people who were really aware about the real course of the protest were those who got involved in vandalism, looting and killing of police men then you need reorientation chief!
#Peace

Misterdhee1:

What has happened since the Oyingbo and lekki massacre? The problem with many of us is we expect too much of the country and in the process of not waking up to the reality, we lose our lives unjustly to a country that doesn't even care about our existence. Sadly, it's the family and loved ones of those who are unjustly killed that bear the brunt.

So what are you driving at? Protests should stop, and the people should remain silent while their rights are being trampled upon? What about the families of those that lost their lives due to brutalities way back, even before the idea of the protest was birthed?
Enlighten me please

You will just open your mouth "wah"and vomit regurgitated claptrap on the cyberspace.

What's productive about the continuous ASUU strike?
What's productive about the hike in cost of living?
What's productive about maladministration?
What's productive about the incessant bloodshed occasioned by blatant insecurities the country over?

Bodied the idiot! Take 5, my guy

Iwo naa fe blow lol, take am jare!

PrinceMajestic:
Any idiot that comes out again should be bathed with bullets. I'm also a Nigerian youth and it is Nigeria over you idiots any day any time. The painful thing they even had to add delta again? They think deltans are as stupid as those s.west block heads, in delta protesters regretted the killing of our brother corporal Onos and we have forgiven ourselves and all deltans are moving on and all hands are on deck to ensure such evil doesn't happen again. You stupid idiots letting those bitches fool you into hatred for your country. You will die while Aisha yeseufu and that DJ bitch will both be getting fvcked from behind errday while they forget about the dumb bastard protesters that they set up to die with security agencies. I don't believe god but god punish una if una try more nonsense at these insecure times.

Just open your mouth and spew out trash to illuminate the illiterate that you are lol, let me state to you clearly knob head! THERE WILL BE ANOTHER PEACEFUL PROTEST SOON AND IT'LL BE TAGGED #ENDBADGOVERNANCE AND BY THEN THERE WILL BE NOTHING YOU, THE REST OF YOUR DICKHEADS LOTS AND THE GOVERNMENT CAN DO ABOUT IT! if you can't take it get tf out of this country or kill yourself

Kyase:

What's his tactics?

High press and play out from back

No midfield at all, players don’t know how to control pass received, players can’t kill a ball and look for free or open pass to deliver to, Arteta telling them to play like someone driving with the handbrakes on, we have a long way to go

Randymarsh:

I swear his initial gra gra don end and now his true colour as someone who has no tactics is showing. Arsenal fans are in for a long thing

He has tactics, he’s just being stubborn

Na only this my arsenal 11 players go wan defend set pieces remain coach and still concede, very spineless playing pattern there by players and coach, I love you and I’m sorry Arteta but you have to change, or tell the players to change their mentality or there’s the DOOR

One thing I've noticed with IWOBI

The more his game gets criticized by his own compatriots, the more he strives on improving from the rough patches he left off.

As far as I'm concerned, he remains an ASSET to this bunch— love him or hate him!

Ah! ti e ti ta danu! K’oshi lo werey!

Nothing happened to Auba! You don’t expect him to create chances for himself all the time and score goals, note that the previous season he was even getting balls from halfway line to counter, now he’s not even getting any cause the team has decided not to play forward often but sideways and backwards
