http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s manager, Arsene Wenger has admitted that he has a plan for Ryo Miyaichi and revealed that he would only loan the player to a Premier League side.
With just a day left in the January transfer window, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 have joined in the chase to land Miyaichi from Arsenal on a six month loan.
However, despite these two teams looking to land the player, it seems like Bolton Wanderers might be the Japanese international’s destination, as Arsene Wenger has admitted he will only let the player move to a Premier League club.
When talking about the youngsters future, Wenger is quoted to have said: "I will have a chat with him tomorrow and I have a little plan," Wenger told Arsenal's website after their dramatic 3-2 FA Cup win against Aston Villa.”
"Oxlade-Chamberlain plays on the flanks now too, so if I can find an opportunity for [Miyaichi] to play somewhere I will decide whether to do that tomorrow."
Wenger then revealed that he would not let the player leave for a foreign club since he wants the player to fulfil the home-grown criteria.
"It will have to be in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 because he will lose the homegrown [status] if he leaves the country," Wenger clarified.
According to the Premier League’s rules, in order for a player to be considered as homegrown, he needs to spend three years in British academies before their twenty first birthday. At the same time, every team needs to have at least eight homegrown players
in their squad.
Miyaichi, who is now nineteen years old, needs to stick around with an English club till his twenty first birthday in order for him to fulfil the requirements to be a homegrown player.
It seems like Wenger has a very carefully laid out plan for the Japanese international and the Gunners boss is more than likely to see his plan through in order to see the nineteen year old develop at the Emirates.
Given the praise he has received from the rest of the squad, Miyaichi is going to have a massive impact on whatever team he ends up playing for.
