The Australian shot-stopper believes he could be a world-class option for the Gunners if Bernd Leno decides to leave in the summer.
Ryan believes he could make the move permanent to the Emirates and can take the No.1 at the North London club.
Ryan has told Optus Sport: “Obviously there was a bit of disappointment around how things ended up there at Brighton.
“Then this move came about and I could understand why people could have drawn the conclusion that ‘yeah, he’s coming here as a No.2 and wants to take the foot off the pedal, enjoy training and not push so hard’.
“Anyone that really knows me knows that’s not my style at all. My motivation is to get out on the pitch and perform.
“That’s the reason I sacrificed every other aspect of my life, moving away from family and friends to be across here and to be out there on the pitch and represent the club that I’m playing for.
“Obviously I knew that Arsenal have a great goalkeeper in Bernd, what he’s done in his career is testament to the world-class goalkeeper he is.
“But at the same time, I have self-belief that I’m also a world-class goalkeeper.”
