Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Ryo Miyaichi will not be allowed to leave the country.
Wenger has hinted he intends to send the Japanese winger out on loan.
He told arsenal.com: "I will have a chat with him tomorrow and I have a little plan. Oxlade-Chamberlain plays on the flanks now too, so if I can find an opportunity for him to play somewhere I will decide whether to do that tomorrow. It will have to be in England because he will lose the homegrown [status] if he leaves the country."
