The 19-year-old, who is already a Mexican international has been described as a ‘skilful’ playmaker by youth football expert Jeorge Bird.
Furthermore, the teenager has also been compared to Santi Cazorla by Jacek Kulig, which is a huge compliment for any up-and-coming technical in midfield.
The Evening Standard have reported that Arsenal decided to trigger the option of extending Marcelo Flores’ until 2025, much like in the case of Charlie Patino.
Further details claim that the youngster has been ‘tipped’ to have a big future and to ward off interest from a number of European clubs, the Gunners decided to secure his future.
