Ryo hoping to impress in Argentina

Japanese star hoping tournament kicks off Arsenal career

Arsenals Japanese winger Ryo Miyaichi could be set to make his debut for the Gunners at the beginning of the 2011/12 season but everything depends on whether he plays for Japan during the Copa America which begins in July.


Miyaichi, 18 signed for Arsenal in January this year but due to work permit problems the winger wasn't allowed to stay in the country so Arsene Wenger allowed the U17 and U20 international to join Feyenoord on loan until the end of the season.


While in Holland Miyaichi has been in impressive form for De club aan de Maas netting 3 goals in 10 appearnaces and has even earned the nickname Ryodinho due to his playing style being compared to the Brazilian Ronaldinho.


Italian club Udinese are apparently monitoring the situation but Arsenal's hierachy believe Miyaichi is one for the future and want to hold on to him.


Japan were invited to appear in the Copa America and initially pulled out due to its clashing with the beginning of the reformed J-League but now the Japanese FA have agreed to send a team out to Argentina for the tournament and Miyaichi is expected to earn his first cap for the national side and possibly a starring role for the Gunners next season.


Arsenal fans are you looking forward to seeing if Miyaichi is as good as people think, will this make you watch the Copa America during the close season. Let us know email jaymoe26@gmail.com or twitter @jamiemason76
