Mat Ryan has all but confirmed he will leave Brighton this summer.

The Australian, who has been linked with Celtic and Real Sociedad, says he is ready for a new challenge.

He said: "It is obviously always flattering to have interest and all that.

"There is a lot of speculation about it I guess, people putting two and two together.

"Realising that I guess I'm probably at the stage of my career now where (a move) is probably going to be happening given the circumstances at Brighton.

"Obviously, given the relationship between Ange (Postecoglou) and I in the past, in the national team, I think there's a lot of people putting two and two together.

"It's interesting, that move may come about.

"I'm not really sure what's going to happen.

"I'm just waiting and seeing and trying to give the most diplomatic answer."
