Arsenal f.c.

Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino scored a consolation goal during Blackpool's 2-1 defeat to Southampton in Saturday afternoon's fourth-round FA Cup clash.

I said to my family that night, 'this is just the start, I want more'.” "When I came on, it was an amazing feeling hearing everyone chanting my name.

Then to score after (Nicolas) Pepe crossed it in, it was just amazing, honestly.” Patino will be targeting the Swiss international's spot in the Gunners' starting XI next year and considering the youngster has a similar blend of elite technical prowess and intelligent movement, whilst also being left-footed, he could make the perfect long-term successor for Xhaka. Granit Xhaka has more-or-less locked down his spot as an advanced no.8 on the left side of Arsenal's midfield three, netting three goals and providing a further five assists in the Premier League this term.
