Patrick Cutrone is one Wolves player Express & Star journalist Luke Hatfield expects to leave the club before the transfer window slams shut.

The Italian striker joined from AC Milan back in the summer of 2019 when Nuno Santo was manager, but has failed to make much of an impact at Molineux.

Less than a year later, Cutrone was swiftly shipped out on loan to Fiorentina before following that up with another temporary spell away, this time at Valencia.

In total, the 23-year-old has made just 14 league appearances for Wolves, scoring two goals.

Speaking to FFC about Cutrone's future at Molineux, Hatfield said:

"It would surprise me [if he had a future in black and gold]. He's just not had a good time at Molineux at all, Patrick Cutrone.

"I think fans really tried to give him that welcome, you know, as a striker you want him to perform. But coming from abroad is always hard.

"Ultimately, it's one that hasn't worked out for Wolves or the player. I think they'd be keen to let him go for the right price."

An exit for Cutrone does look inevitable. Raul Jimenez is back from injury, while you would also expect Fabio Silva to be given plenty of opportunities up front this season given how much Wolves have invested into the young Portuguese striker.

Furthermore, considering how things have worked out at Molineux so far and where he is likely to be in the pecking order, perhaps a permanent move elsewhere is best for Cutrone.
