Arsenal beat Chelsea, Spurs to land Charlie Patino from Luton

Arsenal burned off major competition to sign Charlie Patino from Luton Town.

The 18-year-old came on as a second-half substitute for the Gunners in their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with League One side Sunderland.

Patino had an evening to remember as he turned the ball home in stoppage time to score on his professional debut in a 5-1 win.

The Gunners beat Chelsea and Tottenham to the Luton Town youngster who was then 11-years-old.

Manchester City were also said to have made a late move to lure the youngster to the Etihad.

Fortunately for Arsenal, Patino chose the Gunners because of their proximity to his home at the time in St Albans.
