Miyaichi excited by Kagawa arrival

Arsenal midfielder Ryo Miyaichi has revealed his excitement over the arrival of Japanese teammate Shinji Kagawa to the Premier League.

Manchester United announced earlier this week that the 23-year-old midfielder would be joining them from Borussia Dortmund this summer.

"It would be great if us Japanese players could bring excitement to the Premier League together," Myaichi told reporters.

"I want to follow his lead. By learning what he is good at, such as playing in small spaces, I would like to become a better player."

United are thought to have paid an initial £12m for Kagawa, with the fee likely to rise to £17m due to appearances.
