Swansea use hilarious Eastenders clip to tease new season-long signing of Arsenal starlet - following in the footsteps of Burnley's outrageous player announcements

Swansea City used a hilarious Eastenders clip to tease a new season-long signing from Arsenal - following the trail of Burnley's outrageous announcements.

The Championship side took to X - fka Twitter - on Friday to share a clip of the soap's character Big Mo repeatedly yelling 'Charlie!' across Albert Square, hinting at the identity of their incoming teenage talent.

It comes in a summer which has seen fans left in stitches by the bizarre way in which Premier League Burnley have revealed their own transfer deals on social media.

Swansea confirmed the acquisition of young Arsenal star Charlie Patino on a season-long loan on Friday, subject to international clearance.
