Juventus’ scouts were present to observe Charlie Patino playing for Swansea against Morecambe in the FA Cup, indicating the Italian club’s keen interest in the midfielder.
Patino has been under Juventus’ watch for the past few weeks, showcasing his skills while on loan with the Swans. After a successful stint at Blackpool last season, the midfielder is determined to carve a path into the Arsenal first team.
Although Mikel Arteta gave him his debut at the Emirates and sees great potential in Patino, the crowded Arsenal midfield may limit his opportunities upon his return from loan. As a result, Juventus has expressed a serious interest in securing his signature.
Having monitored Patino for months, Juventus has taken their interest to the next level. Calciomercato reveals that the club had a scout attending Swansea’s FA Cup match against Morecambe, underlining their commitment to evaluating the midfielder’s performance.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Patino is a good player, and it shows that these clubs all want to add him to their squad.
We probably will be better off allowing him to leave now for a good fee, especially if he won’t be prominent for us next season.

I want to see this kid and Nwaneri in particular make the first team. Special talents.
Or better yet he could replace Elneny in the squad and cost us nothing.
However, that would require coaching and developing him, something Arteta and his coaches do not seem interested in doing.
Far easier to reach for the checkbook and spend money than develop youth. How many academy players promoted since Arteta has taken over?
Time to make use of the resources available, can’t always go to the checkbook.
Durand, It is a puzzling mystery why the clearly talented Patino is STILL elsewhere on loan , while the near enough useless Elneny is STILL in our squad and even in our club at all , after all those hopeless years of him being well sub par to ALL the rest.
Patino could not cement a starting spot in Swansy, in the last two months, he has been on the bench most of the time. So lets not make him the next Messi and Arteta some clueless because he does not give a squad place in an elite team that needs to perform every week to a player that can’t start at Swansy.
And Arteta can’t coach players? Get real. Rice said that in two weeks with Arteta he learned things he didn’t know were possible. The Amazon film shows how Arteta teaches Xhaka and others basic tactical stuff that immensely improves their game.
Arteta, like any other coach, can’t do miricels. He can’t turn Eddie to an elite striker. But he also improved Eddie, his movements, his pressing game, etc.
Partino would be given chance given that, Elneny and Jerginho are both leaving the club soon.
We are tired of loosing to average clubs like Fulham and Westham.
