January Twist: £27M Everton Underperformer Proposed in Swap for Arsenal

VITOR ROQUE

In a possible January switch, Arsenal is in the middle of talks about trading a former Everton player and a young talent, Charlie Patino. Juventus wants to improve their midfield, and they might suggest The Gunners bring Moise Kean back to the Premier League. At the same time, Charlie Patino, a promising Arsenal player, is catching the eye of Serie A teams, especially Juventus. Now, let’s take a closer look at what’s happening in this interesting transfer story.

The Potential Swap Deal: Moise Kean for Charlie Patino?

Agent and talent scout Michele Fratini provided insight into Juventus’ interest in Charlie Patino. He highlighted the young midfielder’s qualities. Fratini also discussed the potential swap scenario involving Moise Kean. Fratini mentioned,

“Today, it’s a Juve team without quality. And they can easily sign Patino because Juventus has four attackers, and Kean would be included in the negotiation.”

This revelation hints at a potential exchange that could see Kean returning to the Premier League.

Arsenal’s Dilemma and Paul Merson’s Striking Advice: Ivan Toney in the Spotlight

Even though Moise Kean had a tough time in the Premier League before, the idea of him coming back to England makes Arsenal think. This 23-year-old Italian player didn’t do great with Everton, but people still see he could become really good. An old Arsenal star, Paul Merson, has a different idea to help Arsenal score more goals. Merson emphasizes the need for a reliable center-forward, stating,

“I feel Arsenal might need (Brentford’s Ivan) Toney if they are to do anything this season.”

Merson’s words highlight the importance of securing an established striker to address Arsenal’s scoring woes.

With the January transfer window getting closer, Arsenal has a big decision to make about swapping Moise Kean and Charlie Patino. It’s not clear how this deal will go, and Arsenal is thinking about what’s best for their midfield and attack. We’ll have to wait and see if Kean can do well again in the Premier League and if Arsenal will listen to Paul Merson’s suggestion to go after Ivan Toney. The next few weeks will tell us more about what Arsenal plans to do in the transfer market.
