There is an expectation that Charlie Patino will leave the club this summer. football.london understands that the timing of his rise to the senior level with Arsenal’s own ambitions to massively strengthen their midfield leaves the 19-year-old unlikely to get regular football in Mikel Arteta’s side and therefore has decided a move this summer is the right path for him.
