Anybody who has seen Charlie Patino play in recent years has had high hopes for the youngster, even in his very early days at St. Albans and at Luton.

Now, having broken through and made an impact at Arsenal, a lot of excitement surrounds the youngster.
The No.87 - the same worn by Bukayo Saka on his Gunners debut - played against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup this past week and made a very good impression. His 91st-minute goal had the Emirates Stadium jubilant, and the fans even started singing the youngster's name.
Arsenal are currently fourth in the Premier League under Mikel Arteta and there's more excitement surrounding the club than there has been for years, with the team powered on by young homegrown talent.
Galician roots
Patino's surname shows his roots and Galician blood runs through his veins. His grandparents were born in A Coruna, and his father gave him his love of football and for Deportivo, in particular.
Although he himself was born in Watford in 2003 and has always lived in the United Kingdom, Patino's roots are in Galicia and he has never shied away from them.
While he has played for England at underage level, he could go on to represent Spain.
