Juventus ‘ready to offer Premier League flop’ in shock transfer swap deal for Arsenal starlet Charlie Patino

According to transfer insider Michele Fratini, the Bianconeri are eyeing two Prem aces and those are Manchester City outcast Kalvin Phillips as well as Patino, 20.

The Serie A giants are keen on Phillips, even though he hasn't started a single league game for City this season, because of his physicality which brings back memories of club legend Edgar Davids.

Juventus are also impressed with Patino, who currently plays out on loan for Swansea, as he can cover every single position in the middle of the field.

And Massimiliano Allegri's side is looking to sweeten a potential deal by offering Kean at a time when the Gunners are looking for a centre-forward.

Fratini told Rai Sport: "The two names for Juventus' midfield are Phillips from Manchester City who is a more physical player than Patino from Arsenal.

"He is a Davids, he is physical and good at counterattacks.

"The other is precisely Patino because Juventus lacks quality and if they were to sign [Monza's Andrea] Colpani, who is an attacking midfielder, they would lower him like Inter did with [Hakan] Calhanoglu.

"Today it's a Juve without quality and Patino can easily take him because Juventus has four attackers and Kean would be included in the negotiation''.

Patino stood out last season while on loan at Blackpool where he amassed three goals and four assists in 37 appearances.

The England Under-21 international is also turning heads in Swansea where he has already registered the same amount of goals and assists in only 16 games.

And Arsenal are unlikely to sell one of their most promising young stars for Kean, who endured a poor four-year stint at Everton where he only managed four goals in 39 matches.
