Arsenal starlet Charlie Patino appreciating Blackpool support

Arsenal starlet Charlie Patino has made it clear that he is enjoying himself out on loan at Blackpool.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been outstanding in the Championship, as he continues to develop his game.

Having become a fan favorite in a matter of weeks, Patino has two goals and one assist in 11 games.

A Blackpool season ticket holder, Sam Carrier, posted the following on Twitter about Patino: "Dear @Arsenal, @CharliePatino10 is terrible at football & it wouldn't be fair if we returned him to you so it's probably best if we look after him until we deem him good enough to return. I imagine that will be in around 14 years. Kind regards, All at @BlackpoolFC."

The youngster is one of nearly 8,000 people who liked the tweet, showing the feeling is mutual in this instance.

“It's amazing. I love the fans here, they're always so supportive, not just of me but the whole team, I think it's good to have them [with us]," Patino told BBC Sport Lancashire recently.
