1 Arsenal midfielder Ryo Miyaichi

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will not allow Ryo Miyaichi to leave the club on loan this month, the Frenchman has revealed.

The Japanese winger has made just one Premier League appearance this term and it was thought he could leave on loan after spells at Bolton and Wigan in the last two seasons.

But Wenger says he will not allow Miyaichi to leave after he starred for Arsenal in their 1-0 Under-21 Premier League Cup quarter-final victory over Chelsea.

“Miyachi played in an Under-21 game against Chelsea, we won 1-0,” said Wenger. “He played in that game, did quite well and we qualified. He is with us.”
