Arsenal loan latest as two deals completed, Patino's new chant and youngster's spectacular debut

Arsenal news includes a closer look at how loan players such as Charlie Patino, Marquinhos and Mika Biereth fared at their respective clubs over the weekend

The past week has seen major developments with regard to this season's Arsenal loan army as two more deals have been completed thus taking the number from five to seven.

Unfortunately for the 19-year-old, his first outing for the Swans ended in a 3-2 defeat. However, he appears to have already endeared himself to the fanbase as they've tweaked the chant created by Blackpool supporters last season and belted it out on the concourse at the Hawthorns.

The next loan move announced by Arsenal came on Saturday afternoon with Marquinhos joining Nantes for the season. The Brazilian will be hopeful of following in the footsteps of William Saliba and Folarin Balogun, in particular, by having a successful spell in Ligue 1 to either force his way into Mikel Arteta's plans or put the club in a position to earn a cash injection next summer.

With that said, just like Patino, the 20-year-old suffered defeat on his first appearance for his new club as Nantes were beaten 2-1 at home by Toulouse and the winger was introduced to proceedings in the 88th minute and despite nine minutes of stoppage time indicated he wasn't able to make a difference.

As Hubert Graczyk didn't feature for Slough Town, football.london rounds up the big headlines from the remaining four loanees who have received some game time for their respective clubs over the past week.

After Colchester United's first game of the new season against Swindon Town was postponed last Saturday because of a waterlogged pitch, Mauro Bandeira's debut came in the Carabao Cup first-round penalty shootout loss at the hands of Championship
