Blackpool boss Michael Appleton has praised Arsenal talent Charlie Patino and believes he has a 'big future' ahead of him at the Emirates Stadium.
The talented midfielder suffered an injury setback at the start of the season but has now returned to the first team and wasted no time in showing his ability. Patino made an immediate impact in his first cameo of the season after signing on a season-long loan deal from the Gunners, with Blackpool fans creating a song for the Gunners loanee, with Appleton also full of praise for the youngster.
"He takes yards off people sometimes with his ability to get away from people," said Appleton following Patino's debut for the Tangerines. "I thought he was great, I thought he showed a calmness. He showed an old head on very, very young shoulders and I enjoyed watching him. I think the Blackpool fans over the coming season are going to enjoy watching him."
