Miyaichi joins Latics

Arsenal’s young Japanese forward Ryo Miyaichi has joined Wigan Athletic on loan, the Gunners have announced. The teenager will be with the Latics for the entire duration of the 2012-13 season as he aims to pick up more first team experience under Roberto Martinez at the DW Stadium.

Miyaichi joined Arsenal in 2011 and has already undergone two loan stints- one with Feyenoord Rotterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie and the other with Bolton Wanderers.

Miyaichi has already made his senior Japanese debut, coming on as a substitute earlier this year in a 2-0 win for the Blue Samurai against Azerbaijan

Miyaichi’s arrival at the North-West outfit may pave the way for Victor Moses’ departure, with Chelsea FC touted to be a possible destination for the in-demand star.
