AC Milan's performance this season has been a bit up and down, with 11 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the first 18 rounds, accumulating 36 points, although they are in third place in the Serie A standings, but they have been left behind by the top Inter Milan by 9 points. If this continues, AC Milan may have to withdraw from the Serie A title race ahead of schedule.
The reason for AC Milan's inconsistent record is not only the poor defense at the back, but also the lack of a commander in the midfield who is good at organizing attacks. In midfield, neither Reinders nor Loftus-Cheek are true midfield commanders, so in order to improve the attacking efficiency of the front, it is very necessary for the Rossoneri to find a real attacking core up front.
According to the latest news from Italian media Calciomercato.com, AC Milan have locked in a talented midfield talent. He is none other than Arsenal midfielder Charlie Patino, who is currently on loan at Swansea. Charlie Patino, England's new generation of talent, is just 20 years old this year and is currently a key player in the England Under-21 national team.
Charlie Patino is not only physically fit, but also talented, with super ball control and the ability to sort out and instigate the offensive in the frontcourt. At a young age, Charlie Patino knew how to play with his brain, and often created offensive opportunities for the team through his super ability to read the game. Statistics show that so far this season, Charlie Patino has played 18 games for Swansea, 13 starts, and has contributed 3 goals and 4 assists for the team, showing super creativity in the frontcourt.
If AC Milan can really sign the Arsenal midfield star, it can undoubtedly greatly strengthen the team's shortcomings and improve the team's attacking efficiency. It is reported that Charlie Patino is currently worth 12 million euros in Germany, which is undoubtedly very cheap and good in terms of his individual ability and talent.
However, even so, AC Milan may have a hard time getting the new generation of England's talent. First of all, his club Arsenal may not be willing to let go, and will definitely set up multiple obstacles, and secondly, in addition to AC Milan, there is currently Serie A giants Juventus chasing Charlie Patino. With AC Milan's financial resources, it may not be able to snatch Juventus. To sum up, whether AC Milan can finally sign the England star is still full of uncertainties. We'll just have to wait and see.
