Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hinted that Japanese starlet Ryo Miyaichi could be set for a domestic loan spell as the youngster seeks more playing time to further his development.

The emergence of 18-year old Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has provided Wenger with more-than-enough options on the wings, which means that the 19-year old Miyaichi will need to look elsewhere to increase his football activity.

With both Euro 2012 and the Olympics getting underway this summer, it is perhaps no surprise that speculation has been rife over who will make it into Fabio Capello's final squad for Poland and Ukraine, and who is in line for a call up for Stuart Pearce's Olympic Team GB squad and the Euro 2012 betting odds for one youngster in particular have just dramatically shortened.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has rubbished suggestions that substituting Andrei Arshavin for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain led to the club's 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United and insists that he owes the doubters no explanation.

With the Gunners tied 1-1 after Chamberlain had assisted Robin van Persie second-half equalizer to Luis Antonio Valencia's first-half opener, Wenger brought Arshavin on to a negative reaction throughout the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that the club's 8-2 defeat away to Manchester United five months ago will have no impact on their preparation for this Sunday's rematch at the Emirates while skipper Robin van Persie strongly feels otherwise.

Speaking to the club's website ahead of United's trip to North London, Wenger explained that no matter what, his side cannot reverse the disaster that occurred in Manchester last August and hence, they must look at Sunday's match as a new opportunity altogether.

Speaking in his pre-match pre-match press conference, the Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has provided a very positive injury update on Jack Wilshere. "He (Wilshere) had a very important scan on Thursday and that was very very good, exceptionally good. The news we have for Jack is very positive," he said.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has responded to rumors linking the Gunners with French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff. Despite a dazzling array of skills, Wenger insists that he's not interested in signing Gourcuff in the January transfer window, and instead pointed to the return of some of his star players such as Jack Wilshere.

The Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed rumours linking the Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Rosicky with a move away from the Emirates. "Rosicky is at Arsenal and he remains at Arsenal," he told the club's official website. The 31-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg this summer and recent reports suggest [.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed suggestions that Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri will forever be a villainous figure at the Emirates Stadium, hoping that the former Gunners playmaker is given a better reception in the future.

Before his club's 1-0 defeat to City in last night's Carling Cup quarterfinal, Wenger had urged the home crowd to respect Nasri's contributions to the club rather than jeering him for the infamous summer exit.

FC Cologne forward Lukas Podolski has indicated that he will consider all his transfer options at the end of the current season, insisting that he can "fit into any side in Europe."

Podolski has been on the radar of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger for quite a while and widespread reports in the English media suggested that Tottenham Hotspur were also keen on signing the Germany international.

The Sport-Express newspaper is reporting that Russian money bags Anzhi Makhachkala are targetting Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as a potential candidate for the vacant hot-seat at the Dinamo Stadium. After taking over Arsenal way back in 1996, the Frenchman has won 3 premier league titles, 4 FA Cups and has gifted us with the beautiful, [.

Not expected to be back in action until the new year, Arsenal's crocked young schemer Jack Wilshere has been filling his extended spare time by messing around Twitter. After Tottenham's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday night, the young England man indulged in a bit of good-natured repartee (I refuse to use the word 'banter') on Twitter with Spurs fans which lead to Wilshere promising to donate £3,000 to charity if the Lilywhites finish above the Gunners in the table at the end of the season.

Liverpool is leading the hunt for Blackburn's defensive colossus Chris Samba.
The ambitious Rovers star has switched agents after failing to secure a move away from Ewood Park last summer.
And Liverpool have been alerted to the fact he remains keen on leaving the struggling Ewood Park club.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that his side's slow start to the season has minimized the likelihood of slipping up in the present, as well the future stages of the season.

The Gunners suffered a home defeat to Liverpool while also losing away to Manchester United, Blackburn, and Tottenham amidst a disastrous spell to open the season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has expressed hope that the underachieving England squad performs well in next summer's Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, despite knowing that the level of competition will be extremely high.

Wenger understandably considers Germany and Netherlands as the greatest threats to defending champions Spain but after watching the Three Lions defeat the Spaniards 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday, the Frenchman refuses to rule out the prospect of an English triumph.

United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann will lead his side into a highly anticipated friendly fixture against Les Bleus in Paris on Friday evening and hopes to see the man who once taught him invaluable lessons in France Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Wenger coached Klinsmann for two years in Monaco and although the former Germany international striker had already enjoyed prolific spells at Stuttgart and Inter Milan earlier in his career, his stint in the Ligue 1 made him enjoy attacking football on a whole new level.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted to gambling by resting striker Robin van Persie following the Dutchman's hat trick against Chelsea this past weekend.

In van Persie's absence from the starting eleven despite making a late appearance as a substitute the Gunners slipped to a disappointing 0-0 draw against Marseille.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hailed on fire Arsenal skipper as the "perfect captain" after the Dutchman bagged a hat-trick against Chelsea on Saturday.

Van Persie has been instrumental in Arsenal's resurgence after their worst start in the Premier League under Wenger, and has found the net a remarkable 28 times in his last 27 games to prompt football betting experts to back them for a Champions League spot come the end of the season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is fully aware that pundits will rip apart Chelsea's deteriorating defense but the Frenchman believes that today's 5-3 win should be attributed to the offensive quality of his side.

The Gunners looked shaky themselves on the defensive front but their relentless attack on the Blues' goal was rewarded with a hat-trick was skipper Robin van Persie as well as a goal apiece for Andre Santos and Theo Walcott.

Manchester United's 6-1 defeat to Manchester City has sent shockwaves around the country, with Sir Alex Ferguson admitting that this has been his worst day ever in the Old Trafford hotseat.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who saw his side dismantled 8-2 by the reigning champions at the Theater of Dreams earlier this season, can relate to that feeling and believes that the bitterness will stay with United throughout the season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has recently revealed that "half the dressing room" wanted to leave Arsenal in the summer.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has not had too much good news this season, but central defender Thomas Vermaelen has given him something to smile about today by signing a new contract. Vermaelen, 25, is currently absent with injury, but is looking to make his comeback in the next week or so. This morning he has [.

After signing a new deal at the Emirates Stadium, Thomas Vermaelen just cannot wait to return to the pitch, where Arsenal began their recovery from a poor start with a 2-1 home win over Sunderland.

Vermaelen may not enjoy being a spectator after spending so much time on the sidelines in the last year but on Sunday afternoon, he was delighted to see two of his teammates respond brilliantly to their doubters.

Bolton defender Gary Cahill has spoken of his rollercoaster start to the season, explaining his past few months of dramatic ups and downs. After being highly sought after by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger over the summer, Cahill has since seen his Bolton side languish at the bottom of the table, while also experiencing some personal highs.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that even in a 2-1 defeat, the visiting Sunderland gave his side such a difficult time that their commitment deserves to be lauded.

The Gunners opened the scoring early through skipper Robin van Persie but Sebastian Larsson struck back later in the first half.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is set to battle Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger for the signature Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen who has been strongly linked with a move away from the Amsterdam club for a number of months.
Dalglish added the likes of Jose Enrique and Sebastian Coates during the summer but it is believed that he is still looking for a new centre-back and could attempt to lure Vertonghen away from Holland.

Marvin Martin has ruled out the prospect of signing for Arsenal in January, insisting that he will not leave Sochaux in the middle of the season.

Martin led the French Ligue with 17 assists last year and immediately appeared on Gunners boss Arsene Wenger's radar as a potential replacement for either Samir Nasri or former skipper Cesc Fabregas.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has issued a stern warning to Manchester City by insisting that they refrain from any attempt to land star striker Robin Van Persie. Speculation has arisen that Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is eyeing up a January swoop for Van Persie who he sees as a replacement for rebel forward Carlos [.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists that in order to remain consistent following their 3-0 win over Bolton, his Gunners side must keep their nerves in check and patiently approach the remainder of the season one match at a time.

Saturday afternoon's triumph at the Emirates served as a massive boost to Wenger's men as they have now cut the deficit at the top to nine points and with 32 matches yet to be played, the Frenchman wants his entire squad to stay focused.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed that he knows nothing about Theo Walcott's freak injury at the end of Arsenal's 3-0 win over Bolton.

The Gunners were on course for a major celebration as skipper Robin van Persie completed a century of goals with an impressive brace and Alex Song struck late with a clinical finish.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle has dismissed suggestions that there will be any tension for him at the Emirates Stadium this weekend when Bolton visit fellow strugglers Arsenal.

Both clubs have performed below their capabilities thus far in the season and while Arsenal could have done much better with the services of a proven English center-back such as the Trotters' Gary Cahill, a war of words between the two managers brought an end to the negotiations last month.

Peter Hill-Wood has dismissed Joey Barton's admission that he could have joined Arsenal had it not been for his clash with Gervinho on the first day of the season.

QPR midfielder Barton was linked with a shock to the Gunners during the summer and revealed he spoke to Arsene Wenger about a possible move.

Throughout the summer, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been busy defending his transfer policy and denying a deliberate effort to avoid spending major sums on transfers.

In one of his most recent interviews at the club's official website, though, Wenger took the discussion on this topic to a whole new level by insisting that he is more than willing to spend big on the transfer fee and wages of players such as the Gunners' five deadline day signings, as long as the expenditure is justified.

Arsenal's Henri Lansbury has only made a handful of appearances in his time at the Emirates and he has already been loaned out to West Ham United this season. Highly rated by Boss Arsene Wenger he has never really had the chance to shine, and he realises that if he wants to progress in the [...]

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is of the opinion that the Gunners' season begins in earnest with victory over Swansea City at the Emirates Stadium after a dreadful start to the new campaign. It was former British Prime Minster Harold Wilson who once said that ‘a week is a long time in politics'. Indeed, the [.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted his admiration for Bolton center-back Gary Cahill and has refused to play down talk of chasing the defender's signature again in January.

The Gunners were linked with Cahill's services throughout the summer but Wenger reportedly submitted an official bid less than half of Bolton's valuation, which subsequently led to a public bust-up with Trotters boss Owen Coyle.

New signing Chu Young Park is stuck in Paris awaiting a visa would you believe, but boss Arsene Wenger is confident all of the necessary paperwork will be completed in time, and if it is Park may feature against Swansea tomorrow. Speaking to the press today Wenger said, "We have an uncertainty still with the [.

Stuart Pearce has conceded Jordan Henderson was 'on his knees' when playing for England at the European Under-21 Championship in the summer.
Henderson has been handed the captain's armband for England's bid to qualify for the 2013 tournament after struggling to make an impression during this year's competition in Denmark.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dipped into the transfer market in a last gasp attempt to bolster his already thin squad by securing the services of Brazilian fullback Andre Santos and Werder Bremen defender Per Mertesacker... The official Arsenal website announced the signing of Werder Bremen defender Per Mertesacker on Wednesday evening with the big [.

According to reports in England, Arsenal could clinch a sensational swoop for Everton duo Mikel Arteta and Marouane Fellaini. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has long been an admirer of Arteta, and the addition of Fellaini would add some size and bite to Arsenal's midfield.

According to a report from Caught Offside, Arsenal will attempt to sign both players for a combined fee of £28 million, leaving Everton manager David Moyes with some cash to splash before 11pm, or possibly in the January transfer window.
