Paul Robinson has said that Mat Ryan would be a good signing for Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Ryan, who spent the second half of the past season on loan at Arsenal from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion, has been linked with a move to Celtic.

The Scottish giants are preparing an offer for the Australia international goalkeeper, according to Football Insider.

Arsenal are also reported to be keen on the 29-year-old, who is valued at 3-5 million.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and England international goalkeeper Robinson believes that Ryan would be a very good signing for Celtic.

Robinson told Football Insider: “I’d never thought about that but it would be the perfect fit. Fraser Forster went up there and did a great job but they have struggled in that department since he’s left.

“Mat Ryan was unlucky to lose his place at Brighton in my eyes. I think he still has a lot to give and I think he showed that in his handful of appearances at Arsenal last season.

“In my opinion, he is a top class goalkeeper. He would be a great signing for Celtic given his age, experience and ability.He would be a very stable presence between the sticks for them. I think he’s a great option for them.”
