Arsenal's summer transfer business has continued with Charlie Patino leaving on loan, and it's a great opportunity for the youngster to take the next step in his fledgling career.
The teenager made a dream start to life in the Gunners' first team last season, scoring on his debut in a Carabao Cup victory over Sunderland. However, he then received a bit of a wake-up call in his first start, forming part of an experimental Gunners side eliminated from the FA Cup by then-Championship side Nottingham Forest.
Patino will spend the upcoming season at Blackpool, with the deal now announced after Mikel Arteta giving his approval. The Tangerines finished 16th in the Championship last term, avoiding the drop comfortably after winning promotion the previous season, and the 18-year-old is one of a number of loanees to move to Bloomfield Road along with Liverpool defender Rhys Williams.
