Tribalfootball.com understands that Valencia goalkeeper Mat Ryan will complete a €6m move to Brighton over the weekend.

The Australian shot stopper failed to impress at the Mestalla after joining from Club Brugge in 2015.

Ryan returned to Belgium with Genk halfway through last season on a short term loan deal and made 9 starts in the Jupiler League.

And now, the 24-year old will play in a fourth different country in five years with the newly promoted Seagulls.

Ryan will fill a void at Brighton after their starting goalkeeper last season, David Stockdale, decided to join Birmingham City at the beginning of the week.

When the deal is completed, Ryan will become the club's record signing, however, it is expected that the record will be broken multiple times this summer as the club looks to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
