Arsenal boss Wenger eager to take close look at Ryo Miyaichi

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eager to take a close look at Ryo Miyaichi.

Wenger confirmed that the Japan forward Ryo Miyaichi will be on the plane for the Far East today and suggested that if the 18-year-old impresses he could be given a chance to play in the first team when the new campaign starts.

Miyaichi, whom Wenger signed in January, finished last season on loan at Feyenoord and scored three goals in 12 games.

"He is on the plane because he is quality," said Wenger. "We want to give him a chance to show his quality and I think everybody will be curious to see him play in Asia. I rate him personally... He has done extremely well at Feyenoord."
