Patino has already made his senior debut for the Gunners, coming on against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup back in December, and scoring just 11 minutes into his first appearance.
Flores, meanwhile, has not played a first-team game so far, but the Mexican has already won his first cap for his country at senior level, playing in a 2-2 draw against Chile back in December.
Eight other Premier League players were also included, with Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott (5th) and Kaide Gordon (40th), Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri (22nd) and Shola Shoretire (44th), Chelsea’s Levi Colwill (32nd), as well as Manchester City’s Romeo Lavia (20th), Liam Delap (23rd) and Kayky (25th) all making the cut.
