Arsenal has a long story of bright players who started at the club. Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott are just some examples of those who were born in the club from London a triumphed at soccer. More recently in time, the club counts on some talents that may be great in the future, such as Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli and Joe Willock.

But, despite his name is still not on the front cover yet there is another player who catches everyone's attention. His name is Charlie Patino, he is only 16 years old and is set to be one of the best midfielders on the future. The club is waiting for him and counts that he will be undoubtedly a top player soon.


Head coach Mikel Arteta knows him and thinks that he may be training with the first team very soon. Until now, he has been an England U17 international and played the U18 Premier League season, before it was abandoned in March and getting two assists in nine appearances at the league.


The Guardian published an article of the next generation the best players, and he was there. They described him as a willowy midfielder who has a diamond of let foot. His arrival in the first team could be great news for Arsenal, that recently bought Thomas Partey for more than $50 million in that position, as they didn't have any player to set there after the departure of Lucas Torreira.
