Arsenal sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a team that has shocked the league with its combined quality. The squad, however, still lacks strength in depth and a future objective of Mikel Arteta is to reinforce the side with internal and external options.
Although it may come too soon to see those out on loan support the title charge, the 2023/24 season will provide further opportunity for some of the Gunners’ rising stars to earn their place. Arsenal have a plethora of talent out on loan, including midfielder Charlie Patino.
With Blackpool, Patino faced off against another of the Gunners’ loanees this past Saturday. Drawing 0-0 with Birmingham, Auston Trusty helped the Blues keep a clean sheet away from home.
