Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed some gems under the Fosun Group, acquiring the likes of Diogo Jota and Ruben Neves for relatively small fees and selling them on for massive profits.
However, the Midlands club have also had their fair share of disastrous purchases, players who were signed for lots of money with an abundance of potential that couldn’t hack life in the Premier League.
Nevertheless, one player in particular, who falls into this category and was brought to Molineux as a prodigy four years ago, has had a tremendous campaign and is even outscoring Wolves striker Sasa Kalajdzic.
Patrick Cutrone at Wolverhampton Wanderers
Patrick Cutrone had broken into AC Milan’s first team as a mere 18-year-old back in 2017 and went on to make 90 appearances for the Rossoneri across two and a half seasons, scoring 27 goals. Former Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso even compared the centre-forward’s style of play to that of club legend Filippo Inzaghi
After failing to receive much game-time under Gattuso’s successor, Marco Giampaolo, the young striker made the leap over to England as Wolves agreed an initial £16m deal for his services with £4m added on.
Unfortunately. the Italy international’s time at Molineux didn’t go as well as he’d have hoped. Over two seasons, Cutrone scored three goals in 28 appearances, including just two in the league.
