Juventus are showing interest in Arsenal‘s young midfielder Charlie Patino, with discussions of a potential swap deal involving Juventus striker Moise Kean being considered.

Cristiano Giuntoli, known for scouting talent, has been closely monitoring Patino, hinting at a fresh strategy for Juventus‘s squad development.

Patino, 20, a versatile and highly-rated midfielder from Arsenal, has caught the attention of several clubs, including Juventus.

Michele Fratini, speaking on TvPlay, praised Patino’s abilities: “Charlie Patino is an ‘all-rounder’, he can play both in front of the defence and as a playmaker or attacking midfielder.

“He has a lot of quality and many people like him in England, he is very talented. Perhaps he is Arsenal‘s greatest player at youth level.

“I’m not exaggerating in saying that we are faced with a player who will be able to make his mark at a high level, if he finds the right place. Arsenal loaned him first to Blackburn and now to Swansea, but plan to take him back in June.”

The potential exchange could see Moise Kean, currently at Juventus, move to Arsenal.

Kean, a forward with proven ability, could provide a new option for Arsenal‘s attack, complementing their existing squad.
