Arsenal Newsnow: A new contract with Arsenal midfield sensation Charlie Patino has not yet been discussed, the report claims. Since joining the North London giants’ junior system in 2015, the 18-year-old Englishman has risen to become one of the academy’s top prospects. He previously played for Luton Town.
Patino received praise for his play in the U-18 and U-21 levels before earning promotion to the first team in 2021-22. He played under Mikel Arteta. The Englishman scored in his first game for the club in the EFL Cup against Sunderland. He then made his first senior start in the 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The youngster has started each of their past four second-tier appearances after recovering from an ankle ailment. He has one goal to his name from nine games for the Championship club.
Patino’s current contract with Arsenal only runs until the summer of 2023, although the Gunners have the option to activate a two-year extension in place of contract negotiations. The Athletic reports, however, that Arsenal has not initiated contract renewal talks with Patino. The club must trigger the two-year provision by a certain date in the coming months.

With Shakhtar officials visiting Stamford Bridge to meet with Todd Boehly earlier this week, Chelsea made an aggressive play to steal Mudryk away from Arsenal. Given Antony’s £86 million sale to Manchester United and Jack Grealish’s £100 million transfer to Manchester City, the Ukrainian club has requested a sum in the area of £85 million for its star forward.
Football.london has learned that Arsenal is looking to acquire Mudryk, as well as a central midfielder and a left-sided center defender, during the January transfer window.
After learning that Gabriel Jesus would be out until February due to injury, Arsenal has been trying to negotiate with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of star forward Joao Felix, a 22-year-old.
