Ryan's impressive performances for his Belgian outfit Club Brugge and the Socceroos has attracted the interest of PSV Eindhoven as well as Liverpool, which sent scouts to watch the 22 year-old at the AFC Asian Cup.

The Daily Mirror reported that the Reds want to bring Ryan to Anfield, with manager Brendan Rodgers prepared to wait until the end of the season if he cannot get the Australian in the January transfer window.

Rodgers has little cash to spend but is keen to bolster his goalkeepeing options after Brad Jones was injured and replaced by dropped Belgian shotstopper Simon Migolet.

London's Daily Telegraph also reported that Brugge's former sporting director Arnar Gretarsson believes Ryan has already determined his future is in the Premier League.

"I don't see him staying for much longer at Club Brugge," Gretarsson told the Daily Telegraph.

"I think he will move to a bigger team, possibly for next season.

"I know he would like to go to the Premier League, everybody wants to play in that league, but I could also see him in the Primera Division or the Bundesliga.

"He definitely has the quality to play in the big three leagues."

Ryan has made a series of vital saves for the Socceroos in their unbeaten Asian Cup campaign.

Before the tournament, the former Central Coast Mariners number one revealed that he was open to offers from big European clubs.

"It's obviously flattering to have the interest," Ryan said.

"In the last few months, I have come along in leaps and bounds, my performances have been getting better and better.

"If something was to come along, obviously we would sit down and look at if it's beneficial.

"And if it's in a better league, a better team, then I feel as if I would back myself and be confident in my ability to go there and do well."

Ryan, who has entrenched himself as Australia's first choice goalkeeper since the FIFA World Cup in Brazil last year, said his continued rise was mind-boggling.

"From when I first started as a professional, just to come to where I am now and look back at what has happened - it's unbelievable," said Ryan, who has 15 international caps.

"Everything seems to be coming so quick and going so fast, it's crazy."
