Young Arsenal midfielder Charlie Patino is attracting interest from clubs in England and abroad due to his brilliant form on loan at Blackpool.
The 19-year-old has massively impressed since making his Gunners debut in a Carabao Cup tie against Sunderland last December, a game in which he scored in. Mikel Arteta sanctioned a loan move to Blackpool in the summer to further his development and the central midfielder has blossomed under the tutelage of Michael Appleton at the Championship side.
The Hale Ender's form has been so good that Barcelona are one of a number of clubs reportedly keeping a close eye on the youngster, with his contract situation yet to be resolved. Patino's contract is set to expire at the end of this season, although Arsenal have the option for a two-year extension before a certain point in the coming months.
