Arsenal want to sign on-loan duo permanently

Arsenal will attempt to sign midfielder Dani Ceballos and goalkeeper Mat Ryan on a permanent basis during the summer.

Ceballos had a successful season on loan with the Gunners last term and hence rejoined them in a similar deal last summer.

He has had a mixed campaign where he has been in and out of the lineup but continues to be highly regarded by manager Mikel Arteta.

Meanwhile, Ryan was a surprise loan signing from Brighton & Hove Albion in January and he made his debut against Aston Villa.

The Australian had a good performance with as many as seven saves and has already earned plenty of praise from the fans.

His current deal with Brighton expires at the end of next season and the Gunners are likely to negotiate his permanent transfer this summer.

A recent report revealed that Los Blancos want around £22m to part ways with Ceballos, who is not in the plans of manager Zinedine Zidane.
