DONE DEAL: Arsenal complete signing after finally agreeing fee
Luton’s Charlie Patino has been snapped up by Arsenal
Arsenal are reported to have forked out £10,000 to seal the signing of 11-year-old Charlie Patino from League Two outfit Luton Town.
The Hatters will pick the sum in compensation for the starlet, who has been compared in style to current Gunners midfielder Jack Wilshere.
London rivals Chelsea and Spurs, plus Manchester City were in the running to sign Patino, but according to the Daily Mail, the Gunners have beaten the trio to the signing.
Patino and dad Julio are season ticket holders at Kenilworth Road, but he has apparently decided to join Arsenal because it is closest to his St Albans home.
