Charlie Patino close to joining Deportivo La Coruna
Charlie Patino is considered ‘one of the brightest young prospects’ (per the ) at Arsenal after graduating from the Hale End academy.
Patino made his Gunners debut in December 2021 when he was just 18 and from then on, he’s been tipped to become a future first-teamer under Mikel Arteta.
Loan spells away at Blackpool and Swansea City ensued and he returned back to North London earlier this summer as a much more polished midfielder.
Though, despite his promise, Arsenal have now agreed to sell him to Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna for just £1m, according to Mirror journalist .
Arsenal will have a sell-on clause
The Gunners have negotiated a sell-on clause for Patino, so if he does fulfil his potential in Spain, they’ll be due for some windfall should he be sold in the future.
The 20-year-old leaves Arsenal having made two senior appearances for the club, netting one goal during a 5-1 EFL Cup victory against Sunderland.
