According to recent reports, Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta is a big fan of Wolves' star player Matheus Cunha. It seems that the Gunners are keeping a close eye on him as the January transfer window approaches. Cunha has been making waves in the Premier League this season, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in just 17 games.
The Athletic reported on Boxing Day that Arsenal has been impressed by Cunha's performances this season. They have been long-term admirers of the 25-year-old and are now monitoring him closely. However, with a price tag of around £50m to £60m, a deal is unlikely to happen during the current transfer window. This is because Wolves, who are currently battling against relegation, do not want to lose such an important player midway through the season.
It is more likely that Arsenal will wait until the summer to make a move for Cunha, especially if Wolves end up being relegated to the Championship. Football transfers expert Graeme Bailey recently stated that Cunha's price tag has increased due to Pedro Neto's recent sale to Chelsea. He believes that Cunha would now cost around £50m to £60m.
Cunha has been playing for Wolves since January 2023 when he initially joined on a loan deal from Atletico Madrid. The move later became permanent, with Wolves paying around £44m for the Brazilian international. He is currently under contract until the summer of 2027 and has proven to be a versatile player who can be deployed in various attacking roles.
While he has mainly been utilized as an attacking midfielder this season, Cunha can also play as a second striker, centre-forward, right winger, or left winger. He has made a total of 74 appearances for Wolves across all competitions, scoring 25 goals and providing 12 assists. Cunha has also represented his country 11 times and is a valuable asset for both club and country.
