Wigan Athletic have snapped up Arsenal youngster Ryo Miyaichi on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old winger has found his path to a first-team place obstructed at Arsenal, and will now look to gain valuable match experience under Roberto Martinez.

Miyaichi spent four months with Bolton Wanderers last season, making 14 appearances and scoring a memorable goal in the FA Cup tie with Millwall, but was unable to prevent their relegation from the Premier League.

Prior to making the move to the Reebok Stadium, he played in Arsenal's League Cup victories over Shrewsbury Town and Bolton. He also enjoyed a loan spell with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie during the 2010/11 campaign.

He made his full international debut in Japan's friendly match with Azerbaijan in May 2012.
