Some scholars claim he wrote it in Aramaic, but they all agree it had to be Hebrew or Aramaic.

Maybe all Catholic scholars agree, but it is quite the opposite on the other side of the fence. Y'all are stuck with the curious Papias quote regarding the logia through Eusebius and you must abide by it (despite the fact that it's not clear at all). The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia says this: "Almost all scholars agree that our Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Greek and is not a translated document. Matthew's Gospel reveals none of the telltale marks of a translation. Further, Matthew's OT quotations are derived from the LXX rather than the Hebrew text."
