Swansea City midfielder Charlie Patino appreciated doing his preseason with Arsenal.

Patino is currently on-loan with the Swans.

He told the Daily Mail: "Training with them [Arsenal first team] every day has helped me develop on and off the pitch.

"It made me really confident. I kept going back and it felt like I was part of the first team because I was learning under them. They've got some real leaders, like [Martin] Odegaard, like Bukayo — he's come up through the ranks — and getting advice from him and Smith Rowe has been really good for me.

"When I first went over to train with the first team, Emile, Eddie [Nketiah], Bukayo, they came over to me, put their arms around my shoulder and just said, 'Enjoy yourself, play with a smile on your face and just express yourself'."
