Charlie Patino Signed Arsenal Shirt
Charlie Michael Patino is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL Championship club Blackpool, on loan from Premier League club Arsenal.
Born in Watford, Patino started his career at St Albans City, before joining Luton Town at the age of seven. At 11 years old he signed for Arsenal in 2015 for a £10,000 fee.
Patino rose quickly through the ranks at Arsenal, featuring for the under-18 side at the age of only 14. He is seen as one of Arsenal's most promising youth prospects, with head of scouting at Arsenal, Sean O’Connor, describing him as the "best player who has ever walked through the doors at Hale End", and Arsenal scout Brian Stapleton calling him "the best kid I've ever seen."
He signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in October 2020. In the same month, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" 2020 list, as one of the best young players emerging from Premier League clubs' academies.
On 21 December, Patino made his senior debut for Arsenal in a 5–1 EFL Cup quarter-final victory against Sunderland, scoring the final goal of the game at the end of the second-half, shortly after replacing fellow academy graduate Emile Smith Rowe. On 9 January 2022, Patino was a starter in a 1-0 FA Cup Third Round loss to Nottingham Forest.
On 3 August 2022, Patino signed on loan for Blackpool for the duration of the 2022–23 season.
