Coyle: Miyaichi will make it at Arsenal

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle is confident that Ryo Miyaichi will make the grade at Arsenal when he returns to the club.

The Japanese winger, who can sprint 100m in 10.6seconds, moved to the Reebok Stadium on loan from the Gunners in January

Coyle, who may hand the 19-year-old his Trotters debut against Wigan today, is thrilled to have him on board.

The Scot said: "Miyaichi has unbelievable ability. Without giving opponents a warning, he's lightning quick.

"I'd love to have signed him permanently but Arsene Wenger wouldn't agree to that. When he gets his chance I think he will show everybody what he can do.

"He's the type of player I love. He's exciting and when he gets on the ball you think something can happen."

Miyaichi scored three goals during 12 appearances on loan at Feyenoord last season.
