England face renewed competition from Spain for Arsenal starlet Charlie Patino, who could make his senior debut against AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday night.

Watford-born Patino has represented England up to Under 18 level but is eligible for Spain via his father Julio and has grandparents living there.
