The latest Matheus Cunha transfer news suggests that Arsenal lead the way in the pursuit of the Wolverhampton Wanderers star.
Cunha is one of the most in-demand players in the Premier League after producing a number of eye-catching displays this season.
So far, the centre-forward has an impressive seven goals and three assists to his name from 14 top-flight appearances. All this despite Wolves languishing in the relegation zone.
The Brazil international played the whole 90 minutes as the Old Gold were thrashed 4-0 by Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
According to reports, a number of scouts were in Merseyside keeping tabs on Cunha. Although he didn’t impress, the 25-year-old has done enough already in 2024/25 to alert a number of clubs.
With the January transfer window on the horizon, manager Gary O’Neil will be desperate to keep hold of Cunha. The club will not want to lose such an important asset mid-season. Especially with Wolves’ lowly position in the table.
Arsenal Lead The Race For Matheus Cunha
As per CaughtOffside, Arsenal have already held initial talks with Wolves to get a better understanding of the situation at Molineux.
That is according to the latest Matheus Cunha transfer news. Furthermore, the Gunners have reportedly leap-frogged rivals Manchester United to the front of the queue.
However, it’s not just the Red Devils who are interested in Cunha. The likes of Aston Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham are also keeping tabs on the centre-forward.
From the Gunners perspective, manager Mikel Arteta has been desperate to sign a proven goalscorer. Cunha ticks a lot of boxes and a potential switch to north London would likely prove attractive to the Brazil international.
Especially with fellow countrymen Gabriel Magalhães, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus already at the Emirates Stadium. Aged 25, Cunha is entering his prime years which makes the potential transfer more appetising.
Wolves will do everything in their power to keep hold of their Samba star and are understood to be preparing a new contract offer to ward off interest.
According to the best football betting sites in the UK, the Old Gold are priced at 6/4 to be relegated. If they were to go down, keeping hold of Cunha would be extremely unlikely.
