ARSENAL are reportedly facing the prospect of losing wonderkid Charlie Patino to Barcelona.
The on-loan teenager’s contract with The Gunners runs out next summer.

Italian outlet CalcioMercato claim Patino’s Spanish father idolises Andres Iniesta and Santi Cazorla.
And the Spanish giants are looking to cash in on this link by convincing Patino to swap The Emirates for the Nou Camp.
