Patino told the Tangerines’ official website: “This is a great opportunity for me, and I think I’m ready to take this on.
“It’s the next step of my career and I’m really excited to get going.”
Head coach Michael Appleton added: “Charlie is a very talented boy and I’m delighted that Arsenal have trusted us to look after him and further his development.
“Charlie is one of the best midfielders in his age group and I can’t wait to start working with him.”
