Arsenal youngster wanted by three Serie A clubs

Arsenal youngster Charlie Patino is attracting interest from three Serie A clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Gunners graduate has struggled to break into the first-team plans under Mikel Arteta and he is currently on loan at Swansea City.

Patino has not started for the Championship outfit since the New Year and he is now expected to leave the Gunners in the summer.

The young midfielder has no plans of extending his contract expiring in June next year and the club are likely to cash in on him too.

The Gunners were reportedly eyeing around £20m for him earlier this year, but the price could come down due to his lack of regular minutes.

The 20-year-old has played only 15 minutes in the Championship over the past six games and he is said to be determined to move abroad.

Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus are among Serie A clubs, who are planning to make proposals to the Gunners during the summer.
