Gabriel Martinelli, Alex Runarsson and Emi Martinez have all taken to Instagram to wish Mat Ryan well after the former Arsenal loanee completed his move to Real Sociedad this week.

It was noted that he was expected to leave Brighton with his contract up next year.

He has now sealed a move. However, he will not be playing at the Emirates next year.
