Maty Ryan reveals what he was told about Arsenal's next 'transfer priority'

Maty Ryan has claimed that Arsenal are looking for a homegrown goalkeeper after admitting he made contact about an Emirates return. The 29-year-old spent the second half of last season with Mikel Arteta’s side, making three Premier League appearances in the process. And as the new season is set to start, Ryan has explained that Arsenal gave his representatives the impression that their search would revolve around signing a ‘keeper that would qualify as a homegrown player.

"We got in contact with them (Arsenal) just before making a decision to see what their stance was and they just gave me feedback that I wasn't top of their list," Ryan told Australian media on Wednesday.   "I think the information that came back was perhaps they're looking for a homegrown goalkeeper to fill a spot there but that's as much as I know.   "You can only go about things with what's dealt in front of you so it was an easy decision at the end of the day."
