Deportivo La Coruna have agreed to sign Charlie Patino from Arsenal for a fee in the region of £1 million. This transfer marks a new chapter for the 20-year-old midfielder, who has been a part of Arsenal’s academy since a young age.
According to an exclusive report by Ryan Taylor, the deal includes a substantial sell-on clause, ensuring that Arsenal will benefit financially from any future transfer of Patino. This clause is described as “significant,” highlighting Arsenal’s belief in Patino’s potential to develop further and attract interest from other clubs down the line.

Charlie Patino, once hailed as one of the brightest prospects in Arsenal’s academy, made a memorable debut by scoring in a 5-1 victory over Sunderland in the Carabao Cup quarter-final in 2021. Despite his promising start, Patino struggled to secure a regular spot in the first team, leading to loan spells at Blackpool and Swansea City. These stints provided valuable experience but did not result in a breakthrough at Arsenal.
The move to Deportivo La Coruna offers Patino a fresh start and an opportunity to reignite his career in La Liga 2. Deportivo, currently competing in the Spanish second division, will be looking to leverage Patino’s talent as they aim for promotion.
