Report: PL clubs chase 11-year-old

Luton Town youngster Charlie Patino will reportedly be the subject of a transfer scramble between a host of Premier League clubs this summer.

Patino, who is just 11 years old, already trains six times a week for Luton and has been tipped as a star of the future, despite his young age.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all in the running for the midfielder, who has been compared to Arsenal's Jack Wilshere.

The youngster's grandparents are both Spanish, but Charlie, who is said to have a fondness for the Spanish style of football, was born in England.

It is understood that Patino will cost interested clubs in the region of £10,000 – satisfying FIFA's compensation guidelines.
