Arsenal have a deadline if they want to extend Charlie Patino's contract by two-years.

The 18-year-old has a contract that expires at the end of this season.

However, various media reports have stated that the Gunners can extend it by two years if they so wish.

Per The Athletic via the Daily Express, the two-year clause would take Patino to 2025.

However, there is a specific deadline that is coming up in the next few months, which is when the clause must be triggered by.

If Arsenal allows the deadline to pass, they cannot extend Patino without the player's agreement.

The teenager is very highly rated, while he is showcasing his raw talent on loan at Blackpool in the Championship this season.
