Patrick Cutrone was destined for a great career as a Rossoneri but Krzysztof Piatek's stunning breakthrough derailed his progress at Milan.

The youngster was reluctant to secure a move away from San Siro but the prospect of regular playing time at the Molineux changed his mind.

If the Italian finds his scoring touch early for Wolves, he could form a lethal partnership with Raul Jimenez. The 21-year-old's mobility and incisiveness inside the penalty area could entice more service from Wolves' wing backs and provide different dimensions to their build-up play.

Raul Jimenez was arguably Wolves' most important player last season, having contributed to 20 goals in the Premier League. In addition to his goals and assists, the 28-year-old's tireless performances provided extra defensive stability to Espirito's setup.

Jimenez is an excellent passer of the ball as well. He also utilizes his awareness to create space for the advancing wing backs and midfielders. His intelligence and Cutrone's poacher abilities provide all the ingredients to build a deadly strike partnership up front.
