Arsenal ask Feyenoord to shield Miyaichi from media attention

Arsenal are keen for Ryo Miyaichi not to be rolled out in front of reporters by Feyenoord.

Miyaichi has been a sensation since making his loan switch to Holland, having already impressed at senior level - despite only playing high school soccer back in his native Japan.

Feyenoord media chief Raymond Salomon revealed: "He says he's happy with the fact that he can focus solely on football.

"Feyenoord, ourselves, have a house rule that we are careful with how we handle our young players.

"Arsenal's request is something we've agreed to. They do not interfere with decisions over where Miyaichi plays.

"They're just afraid he can become too distracted by peripheral issues."
