Ryo Miyaichi – Arsenal star of the future

Ryo Miyaichi, the Japanese international currently seeing out a loan deal at Wigan Athletic again has all the attributes to replace the 23-year-old Englishmen.

Not only is he blisteringly quick but his pace is coupled with a more natural ability on the ball than that of the former Southampton player.
