Charlie Patino, a young and promising midfielder, has secured a season-long loan with Championship outfit Swansea City.
Having initially joined our ranks from Luton Town in 2015, the 19-year-old midfielder has emerged as a vital asset within our academy system. This progression culminated in him signing his inaugural professional contract with Arsenal in October 2020.
Charlie’s introduction to the first team was a remarkable one, as he made his debut appearance and netted a goal as a substitute during the Carabao Cup quarter-final match against Sunderland at Emirates Stadium in December 2021.
In the previous season, Charlie gained valuable experience in the Championship with Blackpool. Across all competitions, he made 37 appearances, contributing three goals and providing four assists.
We extend our best wishes to Charlie for his loan tenure at Swansea City and eagerly anticipate witnessing his continued growth.
The completion of the loan agreement is contingent on the fulfillment of regulatory procedures.
