Arsenal midfielder Charlie Patino is attracting interest from several clubs in Europe.

The talented 19-year-old has impressed since making his first-team debut for the Gunners last December against Sunderland.

He is also excelling on loan at Blackpool this term, under the guidance of Michael Appleton.

Football.london states that Arsenal have not triggered an option to extend his deal by a further two years, as it runs out in the summer at present.

Another source states that clubs such as Barcelona are hovering to secure Patino.

Calcio Mercato in Italy claims that since Patino has a Spanish passport, Barca are keeping an eye on his progress.

Arsenal will not bring back Patino in January, as they believe he should continue to progress in the Championship with Blackpool.
