Arsenal's Miyaichi receives work permit

Arsenal young gun Ryo Miyaichi has been granted a work permit, allowing him to play for the North London club this season.

The promising Japanese teenager arrived at the Emirates in January but was immediately loaned to Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam to further his development.

He impressed whilst in Holland and can now put that improvement into action in England after his work permit came through.

"We are absolutely delighted that Ryo has been granted a work permit," Arsene Wenger told the club's official website.

"This is almost like a new signing for us, as we weren't completely sure we would be given the authorisation.

"Ryo worked extremely hard in pre-season and performed well in the matches in Asia, Germany and Portugal."
