Charlie Patino will end his spell as an Arsenal player at the end of this season when he returns on loan to Swansea.
The youngster has failed to secure a spot in the Arsenal first team, and his inconsistent form at Swansea hasn’t helped change that.
Although he made his debut under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal is now a much stronger team and will focus on signing more experienced players in the summer.
This will automatically determine Patino’s future; he knows he must leave.
A report on Calciomercato reveals that the youngster has decided not to spend another season with Arsenal.
He is leaving at the end of the term and will likely join a Serie A club.
Juventus has been tracking him for a long time, and the report claims AS Roma also likes the youngster, which means he might join either club.

The youngster has been inconsistent while on loan at Swansea this term and needs to join a club that will trust him with enough game time to develop.

It’s a shame if he leaves as I really rate him.
Just another in the never ending long line of youngsters who appear, while still in mid or late teens to be special, but who never kick on and make the grade at the LEVEL WE NEED AND NATURALLY DEMAND.
Its perfectly normal, when you examine the wider picture and he will at least fetch SOME fee.
Fortunately , those within the club who make final decisions are not so “soft hearted” towards one of our own as so many lesser thinking fans are.
Speaking of Arsenal youngsters, it’s another goal fest for Chido and his U18 peers. SEVEN goals from one and only Chido of course. That’s scary.
