Charlie Patino has already caused quite the stir among Arsenal fans despite completing just two brief appearances in which he did not play the full 90 minutes in either.
The midfielder has long been touted as one of the most exciting prospects to emerge from Arsenal's famed Hale-End academy in a long time and announced himself to the Gunners faithful with a debut goal during December's 5-1 rout over Sunderland in the Carabao Cup. Patino's name was being chanted from the Emirates terraces before the teenager had even kicked a ball for the senior side.
The clamour for manager Mikel Arteta to play Patino started long before he eventually got his debut, with his performances for the U-18's and U-23's side enough to spark calls for a place in the first-team. The Gunners boss stood firm until the festive period when the visit of the Black Cats provided the perfect opportunity to blood Patino in.
