Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he remains undecided on whether to loan teenager Ryo Miyaichi out in January despite reported interest from Ligue 1 club Valenciennes.
The Japanese winger, who is currently on the sidelines injured, has only managed two first-team appearances for the Gunners this term, both coming in the League Cup.
La Voix Des Sports reported last week that Valenciennes was interested in bringing the Japanese to France but Wenger said he was undecided on that just yet.
“No, there is no truth in that at the moment,” Wenger told the Arsenal website. “I will decide that at the beginning of January."
Miyaichi, 18, had enjoyed an impressive loan spell with Dutch club Feyenoord in the second-half of last season, where he scored three goals and provided three assists in 12 appearances.
