But so far there have been no talks between Celtic and Ryan, according to .

The report states Ryan wishes to be first-choice keeper at his next club however, and that could dent Arsenal's transfer hopes.

Ryan joined the Gunners in January on a loan deal until the end of the season.

He made three appearances but kept just one clean sheet, in the away win at Newcastle.

But he impressed in his limited game time, and Mikel Arteta is believed to be keen on bringing him back to the Emirates.

Several clubs are believed to be chasing Ryan however, including teams in Spain and France.
