Jack Wilshere has said Arsenal first-team players are talking about academy star, Charlie Patino.
Wilshere is back to training with Mikel Arteta’s side, as he seeks to find a new club after being released by Bournemouth.
Patino, on the other hand, signed his first professional contract with Arsenal one year ago and is yet to make his first-team debut.
However, Wilshere says the 17-year-old is already making an impression on the first-team squad.
“I know him. I’ve seen him play and he’s a good player.
“He’s obviously really young still and got a lot of developing to do but he’s definitely one who everyone at the training ground is talking about.
“The first-team players know who he is and he is a good player and one for the future for sure,” Wilshere told PA News.
