Arsenal are back in action this evening as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners beat Molde 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night, but it’s now back to domestic action for Mikel Arteta’s men.
Arsenal have struggled in the Premier League of late, claiming just four points from their last five games whilst failing to score a single goal from open play in that time.
Arteta needs to find more creativity from somewhere, and he was taking a look at a teenage talent ahead of tonight’s game.
Photos captured 17-year-old Charlie Patino in first-team training on Saturday afternoon, which may just excite some Gunners fans.
Okay, it’s unlikely that Patino will be included in tonight’s game given that even Emile Smith Rowe is on the fringes, but it’s another sign of the teenager’s potential.
Signed from Luton Town – just like Jack Wilshere was – Patino has been tipped for a bright future, and his latest inclusion in first-team training suggests Arteta likes him.
Maybe Patino will land a first-team debut before the end of the season, whilst the shot below also appears to show Marcelo Flores in the background too, as Arteta gives chances to Arsenal’s brightest youngsters.
