The 20-year-old is considered one of the most exciting young players in England and has been targeted by several of Europe's top clubs.
The dynamic midfielder made his way into Arsenal's first-team squad a few years ago but failed to secure a place in the north London club's starting line-up. Patino has since left the Emirates Stadium on loan twice and is currently playing for Swansea City. So far this season, the youngster has made 16 appearances for the Swans, contributing three goals and four assists. Juventus have been keeping a close eye on Patino for some time now, with the latest reports from Italy suggesting they are ready for a move.
Arteta needs to sell some of his players before approving more transfers in January, so he could decide to recall Patino on loan and sell him in January if a suitable ** comes along.
However, Juventus are unlikely to have the financial resources to cover Patino's €30 million asking price, so they will have to make a creative effort in this deal. According to the Italian newspaper Juventus, Juventus has a "trump card".They were ready to trade Keane for Patino.
Arteta is keen to sign a new striker in JanuaryIt's no secret that he now has a chance to get a new striker, although the 23-year-old is not his first choice.
Keane has been fighting for consistent playing time at Juventus this season. He has made 12 Serie A appearances so far, mostly as a substitute, and has yet to score.
Interestingly, another report from the Italian newspaper Sport saidAston Villa have already targeted Keane, because Unai Emery believes he can rekindle his once promising career.

With that in mind, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal will consider trading Keane for Patino in January. If they don't, Aston Villa will have the chance to bring in the Italy international in the coming weeks.
