Arsenal trialist Ryo Miyaichi is set to fly out to Holland later this week ahead of a training spell with Dutch giants Ajax. The Japanese winger played 60 minutes for Neil Banfield’s second string in a 3-0 win over Boreham Wood last night.
Miyaichi is currently signed to the Chukyo University in Nagoya but he has had trials in Europe with German outfit FC Köln. Ryo shot to prominence playing in Japan’s Under 17’s at the recent FIFA U 17 World Cup, which was eventually won by Sead Hajrovic’s Switzerland. He featured three times but a poor Japan side were defeated on every occasion.
Ryo’s representatives have been working hard to get the player a contract in Europe and last nights 60 minute run out for Arsenal is notable. However, a training spell with Ajax’s Under 19’s in Holland has already been agreed on, meaning the Gunners must act quickly. Miyaichi is a 5’11, genuinely two-footed winger, who can also play off a striker. His superb dribbling skills and ability to beat players with ease saw him catch the eye at Meadow Park.
Arsène Wenger has long tried to get a foot hold in the Asian market, with Junichi Inamoto helping firmly establish the Gunners in Japan. In 2006 Sho Ito, also from Chukyo University, was on the verge of signing after a trial, only for a work permit application to fall through at the last minute.
Wenger’s trusted staff members Boro Primorac and Steve Rowley were in the stands last night to run the rule over the youngster, but there is no indication as yet whether Miyaichi will be Arsenal’s newest Asian import.
I hate Wenger!!! This guy seems to be worth a gamble!!!
so why do you hate Wenger then?
Wenger didn’t reject him so why hate him :/ ?
He’s being sarcastic…
Why hate wenger? If this person is not coming to Arsenal then I am not worry because there are plenty of other players around the world. It is NOT end of the world! So you don’t need to hate Wenger!
If Arsene Wenger does not think that he is better than what we already have why even try to buy him in the first place then.
I don’t think Arsenal brought to London for trial. Look like his agent that bring him to europe to have trail with several clubs. It normal bussiness that you have your client trail at several different clubs in one round trip to europe, in If all club interest you pick which one offer you the best package.
SO a bit thinking before voicing you opinion to the whole word pleaseeeeee…….
Alarming indeed. Multiple asian talents have gone through Holland’s academys and first-teams and then went on to play for bigger clubs.
Park ji Sung & Keisuke Honda to name two.
Neither of those players went into those academies, they were already too old for academy football when they went to Holland. They went into the first team squads.
How can they get to holland with no problems but have visa’s rejected for the uk?!?
Because other countries do not have as strict immigration rules as the UK
As Neal says. And yet the people who moan about this are often the same ones that call on the government to “close the borders”.
I so badly want this player to be with us -EXACTLY what we need
Please keep us updated J, good or bad news please
What are your thoughts on this player J, do you like him and do you think he’ll be signed?
Thanks

not sarcastic at all folks. It takes always ages if we sign someone. Also do not entertain this Spahic guy rumours which is not here the place to discuss. We lost out on Alonso and Ronaldo for paying less. But lets wait and see what happens. According to the official Montpellier HP we are no where near in contact about this bosnian guy!!!
we didnt lose out on ronaldo because we payed less
he chose united over us
Why did he chose UTD over us? Because we didn’t go that extra mile to persuade him, make him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
I thought we had the finances to compete with the best?
We didn’t lose out because we did not pay enough or wasn’t persuasive enough. Ronaldo eventually signed for Manure because of Carlos Quieroz’s link with Manure and SAF.
Yep, it’s frustrating. Life is complicated. Unless you are a dictator. Wenger embraces complications; he’s doesn’t act out of insecurity and fear. But we did snap up Galindo right quick. Besides, it’s not always only up to us. Supporters of big clubs need to act like supporters of big clubs. Keep calm in the knowledge that we’re bigger than any prospect or you hand the advantage to everyone else. That’s what Mourinho and Ferguson bring to a club through arrogance. Wenger does it through intelligence and psychology. Clearly neither are working on you!
arsenal4ever Wenger can only identify the players the rest is done by the executive body of Arsenal FC. after the george graham debacle no Arsenal manager now deals with the final bit of the transfer. there are many things to get into place before you can sign a player first and foremost will they get a visa or not which is not in arsenals hands.
its nice to know that fans like you are better at running Arsenal football club then the professionals in charge. I presume you have a magic wand that you wave every time you want to sign a player. now why don’t you run along wait a table or do whatever mundane task it is you do and let the pros run the club.
ARSENE KNOWS!!!
Slight change of subject but does anyone know what is the latest on Pedro Botelho ?
We do have the finances to compete. Competing is not a guarantee of succeeding though!
Because Utd had Carlos Queroz.
Why did Anelka, Henry, Arshavin, Fabregas, Ramsey, Campbell and others sign for Arsenal over others? Because of the envious history of the Club, its standing in world football, its supporters, its facilities and because of Wenger.
I suggest you think before you type.
Alternatively, stop typing altogether and start thinking like a grown man (or woman) and have some perspective.
Great info J, many thanks.
Does this mean that we won’t get to see Miyaichi play against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday?
ARSENE KNOWS nothing!!! You can see as we are linked with this medicore defender Spahic. Get JAgs or Cahill!!!!
look dude you have your opinion we have ours
as far as I am concerned wenger is the best thing that ever happened to our club and I wouldnt trade him for any coach in the world
because its definitely that easy.
We can just snap our fingers and Jagielka will be in uniform.
this fella looks very good
hope we get him
but knowing arsenal they will probaly let this 1 go
liike they do most of the time
example: zltan ibrahimovic, cristiano ronaldo and miralem pjanic
fabregas ,anelka, henry, pires,lunjberg,van persie,vermalaen,song…..we cannot sign every young player on the planet just like that, so we aren t gone to miss one great.It s call gambling and every club are doing that .Like when someone gamble you win some you lose some that s life.
And please stop mentioning Ibrahimovic he is the most overrated player on planet earth ever .He is talented but rarely show it on the pitch.
Thanks again J for the info..
It would be a shame if we don’t sign him and he turns out like another Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic… Has Miyachi’s trial ended now with Arsenal or does he still have time to play in the Wimbledon game, that Wrenny asked about?
Cheers
Of course, he could easily be another Quaresma or Simao
and dont forget zezinho
Zezinho is more talk than action, the boy isnt that great, believe, wellington silva is better…
i’m brazilian , so i saw both play several times…We didnt lost that much
nevertheless i would really want this miyaichi guy,
andrew herbert chapman was a way better coach than wenger
I suppose you know this from having attended so many matches back in the 1930’s, yeah?
herbert chapman was a great coach but before my time and I can only judge him through his sporting success nothing else
but wenger has made arsenal into a totally different club we were called the boring boring arsenal before now we are probably the best attacking side in europe, we have a conveyor belt of talent coming through, we are financially the best run club in europe, we have by my personal account the best stadium in england, we have the most advance facilities in england and the youngest club in england vying for the PL title.
this is after a debt that made us sell our best players and have to clamp down on wages only a great manager can make this happen
and the changes wenger has made with arsenal will live on even after his demise and we will enjoy and reap awards from these changes for decades to come
t.Henry (Wenger brought him at Monaco) Anelka,Fabregas ,Ramsey have sign because of Wenger not because of Arsenal history. except for sol who choose us because we were the best team in England (with MU ) and he want to win a title sooner rather than later
Same with Ronaldo who sign at MU because he knew Queiros .
true this Japanese player could be a Ronaldo but also could be the new Inamoto too ;)
you cannot compare both manager and both have been Great for their time modernizing the club from top to bottom.
I tend to agree with thenry above rather than with the simplistic, fantasy-footballistic opinion of other posters regarding transfers procedure.
Besides, the “good” coach / “bad” coach debate would be much more interesting if Henry (coached by AW and Guardiola) or Sylvestre (coached by SAF and AW) were participating since being a coach goes beyond trophy cabinet considerations as far as Im concerned.
Anyways, regarding Miyaichi, we can assume money will not be an issue against Ajax or FC Koln, therefore if AW and his scouts decide he is not worth a sum of money which will surely not be over £1M, I think they deserve to be trusted.
That C Ronaldo would have become the C Ronaldo as we know him had he gone to Arsenal and not Man United is highly unlikely. Especially coming from Arsenal fans who surely support the idea that Fabregas would not have become Fabregas had he stayed with Barcelona :)
but won´t it be very hard for Ryo to get an english work permit as he hasn’t done anything noteworthy in his career yet so as to establish him as an exceptional talent? And we know wenger usually doesn’t know how to get a work permit for his non-eu talents, like alex ferguson does (has he ever failed in that aspect?).
why do people come on here and talk about all things not youth? Have they nevr typed in arsenal forums into google or something?
man utd did outbid us for c ronaldo, but that was in the highbury era, when man utd outbid everybody – before abramovich even came on the scene. i’m sure arsenal went as high as they could, but utd could always offer more back in ’03. these youngsters who criticise wenger would do well to look back at those days and observe how and why times are changing. the club and fans owe wenger a huge debt of gratitude – he is a visionary.
YAWN He is fucking shit
Do you really think that with all Wenger has to do he is also responsible for bundling the visa paperwork and all negotiations from the first team down to the under 8’s junior ladies? The same thing is true of Alex Ferguson.
AFC has Gazidis and a team of people who do this sort of thing.
If Arsene likes Miyachi then he can be part of the persuasion package but the acquisition attempt is done by others.
@arsenal4 ever
It so fun to see you in a rag! i almost hope we dont win anything this year. The image of you screaming, throwing your tv in to the wall and gerenally being abusive and miserable is almostg worth loosing over! I LOVE it when people are stroppy and feel holpess and sad inside over something they cannot control. LIke you !
Lol keep the rands coming honey! I look forward to you trashing your bedroon over AWs “stupidities”.
Hey all, What do we think of this Miyaichi kid. Personsally i think he looks really good. watched him in the U17’s and have seen clips of him. the comparisons with Ronaldo are the closest I guess as he has skill, pace and technique. I want Wenger to get him, but I guess we will see?
To all those anti Wenger people out there, he created a brand that’s financially self-sufficient with the best ground, training complex, youth setup and general facilities around. Yes his transfer policy is frustrating at times but we wouldn’t have had players like cesc, kolo, thierry etc without it and we wouldn’t be the best run club in europe.
In Arsene we trust
@eleanor: it’s been known that wenger has pleaded his case personally sometimes to the immigration board, such as when the Da Silva-brothers were granted work permit despite not having played any games for the brazil national team.
people need to realise theres many,many reasons transfers fall thru..just because they dont sign for us it doent mean its wengers fault!..it may be stupid greedy agents,a player not wanting to play in certain posistions,attitude,not as good as youtube mak out!!lol,game playing by clubs,there might better options lined up,might have players already in the squad that r improving by the week ie frimpong ect wenger doesnt just sign every player that has a good 60mins in a reserve game at boreham wood,he notices things that we as fans dont see!!!!!!!!!! why do we have the same debate on here about not snapping up certain youth talent!! jeeeeesus
i cant believe this japanese guy who ‘runs’ like ronaldo is actually being compared to ronaldo! its a joke people r panicing that he mite go ajax..WHO CARES!lol..please talk sense on this site cos there r usually some very good debates
New U21s squad named, no Wilshere or Gibbs in it so probably means they’re going to be in the senior squad. Well done to them.
Dissapointed not to see Jack Rodwell in there aswell IMO.
On what technical basis apart from physical gifts can Rodwell be rushed into the national team.
I lived with Asians from Korea and Japan. They come here to study English and they received Visas , some for up to 3 years. I don’t see why Arsenal couldn’t do the same as the kid will be schooling to learn English anyways.
From what I’ve heard about the C. Ronaldo shirt from Wenger and Ronaldo himself was that we were very very close to signing him. He was taken around Highbury, got an Arsenal shirt with his name on it given to him by Wenger and we had spoken to Sporting. Man Utd then came in and over bid us by 3-4 million I think? (12mil) which was a lot considering he was nowhere near the player he was when he left.
That’s just my 2 cents.
Onto Ryo. I’d love to have him at Arsenal. Japanese footballers are on the up, they had a lot of good players in the World Cup and one great one in Honda. Would love to see him in an Arsenal shirt, and if we can take a gamble on someone like Sunu (not my favourite youngster) I’d like to see us give this boy a go.
Tommusso, they bid £12m, we bid £4m, but it was the Quieroz connection that swung it for manure
Even Wenger makes mistakes, who cares?? I mean Ronaldo was probably worth 12 million pounds at the time, and if we had scouted him properly, we would have realized this. But he almost went to Juventus as well. Other teams missed out on his talent. Look, Wenger has given us great young talents and he’s bringing them through right now!!:D Why dwell on the past when we have kids like Afobe, JET, Aneke, Wilshere, Bartely and Miquel, and Yennaris, just to name a few?? Stop bitching and whining because it doesn’t do any good. For what it is worth, I wouldn’t want Ibra or Ronaldo in my team. Both are great artists with a football, but both have been severely destructive in the past. I’d much rather have Fabregas or Wilshere or Aneke. They are both consumate team players and are much more consistent than Ibrahimovic. PLUS we paid jack shit for the talent that we are producing. We didn’t have to prean to any agents or pay exhorbitant fees for any of them. I hate people who moan about us not getting Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic!! WHO CARES!! HUNDREDS OF OTHER TEAMS MISSED OUT AS WELL.
Wenger is somtimes mad! Infact, i hate him. Just that gunners are part of me. He said there is money in the bank, is the money his alone that he wont buy atleast 2 good players. Just busy comfronting a boy that dont like your team, infact saying it out. Let him go and buy another. No gourcuff, j.cole, hazard, ozil, jagielka and now commenting on a boy that cant contribute to the first team. Arsenal ladies are busy performing well while Arsene boys(SHAME ON THEM ALL INCLUDING THERE MASTER)
shame on you first, ur an Arsenal fan and don`t get it
we have a team, all we need is a good physio, have you noticed last season what stoped us was Injuries..
wtf are arsenal fans so demanding
I wouldnt be suprised if arsenal dont sign him.
We seem to only sign central midfielders than play them wide.
Well the more we want him the less likely it is we’d go for him. That’s just how we work. That said, I’d love to see him. Japanese players are technically excellent (see Nakata, Nakamura, Honda and Yasuhito Endo) compared to other Asians, would be a nice fit if we wanted him.
And oh stop being so hung up about Ronaldo. So what if he chose them over us. This is not the place to discuss it anyway, it’s Arsenal Reserve and Youth News. Some people obviously can’t read.
I wish we had bought Shinji Kagawa before he moved to B. Dortmund – for only 350K!
wise spending on kagawa
Yeah he’s class, we might well regret it this season.
ok a few facts, ronaldo was in wengers office literally about to sign his contract when his phone went and he said i have another offer i have to check out…he drove straight to manchester where he was offered a deal that nearly double the wages we offered and also had wage increases per year tied into it which we did not have….yes quieroz was the man who made the call on behalf of fergie, so u could say it was becoz of his link that he even entertained answering the call in the first place…if harry rednose at the lane had called i’m sure he would of ignored it…but……he was offered a better deal at a club where there was somsone he already knew well…so its both really,….we have lost out on loads of players where we have been outbid, chelsea love to pip us to a player, they got diarra, cech, kalou, drogba and kakuta to name a few from under our noses….we are restricted heavily financially there’s no denying it and it has cost us before….any spachic is bullshit not going to happen, we haven’t even made an enquiry and he’s not exactly aw’s type of player, pure paper noise….however mertesacker we r after as where we jagielka thats dead now, and werder said they have no intention of selling per as he has not asked for a transfer, maybe if he does they will negoiate but until then watch this space fokes…a cb and a gk is on aw’s radar whether we get who we want and whether its now is different he will wait if he has too he did it with arshavin and chamakh we’ll know in the next two weeks though….i love fabregas and our club and everyone involved and can’t wait for the new year
Is wellington silva eligible for a work permit in January or will he have to go in Spain like perdro b?
Is wellington silva eligible for a work permit in January or will he have to go in Spain like perdro b?
