Arsenal hold Patino clause as Blackpool return nears

Arsenal youngster Charlie Patino is close to a return for Blackpool.

The 18-year-old midfielder was injured in his first Championship start for the Seasiders.

Patino had previously impressed in two substitute appearances and EFL Cup outing.

Blackpool are excited about Patino's return, which could take place this weekend against Millwall.

With injuries to their midfield, the Gunners could recall Patino in January after placing a clause in his loan deal, per football.london.
