Ryo Miyaichi, the young Japanese attacker who joined Arsenal in the new year, has been sent on loan to Feyenoord in an informal agreement.He was offered a contract by Arsenal at the end of August 2010, but officially agreed to join the club at the start of the new year, which was exciting news for Arsenal as he has been compared to former Manchester United winger/striker, Cristiano Ronaldo - in terms of ability.Wenger praised the 18 year-olds "raw ability" and "potential" which delighted him and attracted Arsenal to bring him to London.
He will now begin to fulfill his potential in Holland with Feyenoord as Arsenal director Richard Law said:
"We don't believe in a co-operation by signing contracts and documents. It's much more important to build up a good relationship. We have similar relationships with other players and already have a good relationship with Feyenoord."
"If we can help each other out, then it is something we will look into. I see this as a shake of hands agreement."The move is apparently part of a wider strategy to strengthen links between the two clubs - who both have similar footballing philosophies, and Arsenal believe that the Dutch club will be a good place for youngsters like Miyaichi to learn their trade before returning to England.
The Arsenal Director, Richard Law continued:
"Feyenoord must fully trust us when we say that he is a very good player. We feel they will use him in the right manner. We have not put any demands on them and it will be up to them where he will play and how much he does."
