Midfielder Charlie Patino has completed a permanent transfer to Spanish side Deportivo de La Coruna.

The Gunners will receive a £1m fee and there is a significant sell-on clause in the deal.

Patino, 20, came through the Arsenal academy having joined the club in 2015 and made two first-team appearances.

His senior debut came in December 2021, when he came on as a substitute to score in the Gunners' Carabao Cup quarter-final against Sunderland at Emirates Stadium.

Patino spent time on loan last season with Swansea City in the Championship, making 35 appearances, scoring four goals and providing four assists.

In a statement, Arsenal thanked the academy gradate for his contribution to the club during his time with them and wished him well for his move.
