Arsenal have announced a pair of deadline day moves, sending attacker Ryo Miyaichi to FC Twente in the Netherlands and selling defender Ignasi Miquel to Championship side Norwich City.
Arsenal let two youngsters leave
Ryo Miyaichi will play his football away from the Emirates this year, while Ignasi Miquel has joined Norwich permanently.
The Miyaichi loan is no surprise at all. He’s struggled on quite a few different loan spells since joining Arsenal and has never looked good enough to play for the first team. Twente is a better move than most expected him to get. The Miquel sale, however, is a slightly different story.
Arsenal don’t currently have any central defense depth. Even if they had held on to Miquel to play U-21 football and be a backup this season, they would have been extremely thin at the back. With Miquel leaving and no one rumored to be coming in, the Gunners have just two defenders. Under normal circumstances, a Miquel sale would make sense, but Arsenal really have no defenders. Their backup central defenders are fullbacks.
