The Hale End academy graduate has set a new record while pulling the strings in Arsenal's midfield against Bodo/Glimt

Charlie Patino became the youngest English player to start a European match and dazzled with a performance that left fans in awe

Arsenal's Charlie Patino is making a name for himself in the world of football. The 18-year-old midfielder has been impressing for the Gunners' youth teams and recently made his debut for the first team in the Europa League.

Against Bodo/Glimt, Patino became the youngest English player to start a European match, breaking the record previously held by Jude Bellingham. And he didn't just make up the numbers; he put in a performance that belied his years.

Patino was at the heart of Arsenal's midfield, dictating the tempo of the game and creating chances for his teammates. He showed great composure on the ball and was always looking to make something happen.

His performance was all the more impressive considering he was playing against a team that had won their last 14 home games in Europe. But Patino didn't look fazed, and he played with a maturity that belied his age.

Patino's performance has led to calls for him to be given more chances in the first team. And it's easy to see why, as he has all the attributes to be a top player.

He is a technically gifted player with a great range of passing and an eye for a goal. He is also a hard worker and is always willing to put in the effort.

If Patino continues to develop at his current rate, then he has the potential to be a star for Arsenal. He is a player with a bright future, and Gunners fans will be excited to see what he can achieve in the years to come.
