ARSENAL fans are delighted to learn of the club’s long-term plan for Charlie Patino.
The promising youngster spent the season on loan at Blackpool in the Championship.
Arsenal want to loan Patino out again but he is now believed to be keen on a permanent move to further his development.
However the Gunners are planning to include a buyback clause in any deal that will see the midfielder sold, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Arsenal fans are glad such an option will be included as it gives the Gunners an opportunity to bring him back to the Emirates if he performs well elsewhere.
Some fans believe the plan is evidence Arsenal are acting like a big club in the transfer market once again.
