The player and clubs had entered transfer discussions over a loan move, with a view to permanent switch earlier this week.

But the forward trained at Compton on Wednesday after talks to secure a move back to Italy hit a block.

The deal was never dead in the water and the two clubs are back in talks.

Wolves forked out £16m to bring the forward to Molineux from AC Milan in the summer.

And they are in a strong negotiating position, having tied him to a four-year deal.

Cutrone has scored three times in 24 appearances for Wolves since leaving Milan in the summer.

But his cameo off the bench in Wolves' 2-1 win at Norwich City is expected to be his last in gold and black.
