Arsenal set to hand chance to wonderkid Charlie Patino after the youngster was branded as the 'next Phil Foden' following stunning individual goal for the U23s

Arsenal starlet Charlie Patino could make his debut appearance for the Gunners this evening after being branded as the 'next Phil Foden'.

Patino - who signed for the Gunners at just 11 years old - has been described as Arsenal's best academy prospect and could feature against Sunderland in their EFL Cup game, according to The Mirror.

The 18-year-old has never played a competitive fixture for the first-team, but has taken part in regular training sessions. He also captured the fans attention during an U23 fixture with Swindon Town.
