Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been sent a key reminder of Charlie Patino's talent after the youngster impressed for Blackpool against Preston this afternoon (Saturday).
The 19-year-old midfielder joined Blackpool on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window as he looks to continue his development with regular first team football in the Championship. Patino scored on his first-team debut for the Gunners in December last year against Sunderland in the EFL Cup, bursting onto the scene with Arteta keen to take pressure of his young shoulders.
Following his goal against the Black Cats last year, the Gunners boss said: ""[The fans] heard about him and know what he can become, and now we have to 'cook' him slowly; [Too much hype around him] is what we have to avoid. He still has a lot of competition in front of him."
