Patrick Cutrone is set to sign a new contract with AC Milan after a good and impressive season in Serie A, despite the fact that his current deal does not expire until 2021, according to Sports Illustrated.

The 20-year-old has risen to stardom with a great debut season, scoring an impressive 16 goals in 42 appearances this season, including 2 goals in a 5-1 win over Fiorentina in the final game of the season.

All fans can hope for is more good news than bad.
