Looking back on it, Patrick Cutrone’s transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers can only be described as a disaster.
The striker, who arrived at Molineux in a surprise transfer from Milan, never managed to find his feet in England, which led to him being loaned all over the place.
The 24-year-old made just 28 appearances for Wolves, scoring three goals and picking up four assists, spending most of his time abroad, playing for Fiorentina, Valencia and most recently FC Empoli.
He returned to the Premier League side this summer, where nobody expected him to stay, and a move was eventually organised, this time a permanent transfer to Como in Serie B.
The destination might surprise many, but it’s worth pointing out that he was born there, which is exactly why he returned, as the now former Wolves forward explained to La Provincia di Como.
“I talked about it with my agent who told me about some club offers, but without any doubt and delay, I wanted Como. There was contact, and it became a reality. Thanks also to the team, who were enthusiastic about this hypothesis.”
Now, there is one thing Wolves fans should know about Cutrone, and it’s going to come as a shock, but he doesn’t like the food in their song for him.
You all know the one, something about his eating the pizza and the pasta, but when asked what his favourite place in Como is, he said: “I really like sushi. I often go to a restaurant near the funicular, the Yoko. I’m a little weird: I don’t like pizza or lasagna.”
As for the song, he added: “It was a nice chant, but I never told them I don’t like pizza. I didn’t mean to let them down…”
Well, you have, Patrick, and that sound you hear is the shattering of many hearts throughout Wolverhampton.
In fact, are you even Italian?
