Inamoto determined to continue in Europe

Arsenal reject Junichi Inamoto is determined to continue plying his trade in Europe - and is convinced his Japan team-mates will follow suit if they are to prove a bigger hit at the 2006 World Cup.

Inamoto, who was released from his contract by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger two weeks ago, has told local media he has not given up hope of returning to Highbury following imminent talks with the Frenchman.
