Not going: Jalal Abdullai stays at Molde
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Swansea City had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
Player ratings21 Jun 2027
Patrick Cutrone scores twice — 8.93
Two goals and a mark of 8.93 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Another one collected away from home
5 on the bounce on the road for Molde. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.
Squad21 Jun 2027
Patrick Cutrone is carrying Molde
13 goals and a season average of 7.28. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.
The terraces21 Jun 2027
One of their own: Igor Gosik
He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Patrick Cutrone the difference as Molde beat Aalesund
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Patrick Cutrone. 2‑0 against Aalesund, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
Squad21 Jun 2027
A row about effort at Molde
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sebastian Olderheim was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Tempers go at Molde
Erik Marxen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
The dugout21 Jun 2027
A promise honoured at Molde
Something was said to Patrick Cutrone and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
In brief
- Player ratings Nothing got past Fredrik Kristensen Dahl
- The dugout A satisfied Lars Pedersen
