According to The Telegraph, Arsenal has identified Wolves striker Matheus Cunha as a possible target to increase their offensive options during the forthcoming January transfer window. The North London team’s interest coincides with an injury dilemma, as star attacker Bukayo Saka has been out for weeks after suffering a hamstring injury last week against Crystal Palace. Raheem Sterling’s knee issue has added to the situation’s complexity.
According to the source, Arsenal was interested in the Brazilian international before they had injury issues, but these setbacks have made them more desperate for attacking reinforcements. Cunha has been an outstanding player for Wolves, scoring 14 goals in all competitions last season, including a remarkable hat-trick at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. In his 18 Premier League games thus far this season, the 25-year-old has already scored 10 goals and provided four assists, including a goal from the corner against Manchester United on Boxing Day.
Arsenal are interested in signing Matheus Cunha
Raheem Sterling, who is on loan from Chelsea, is also expected to miss some time owing to a knee injury. The Telegraph claims that Arsenal is thinking about making a January raid for Cunha of Wolves. Prior to Saka’s injury, however, the North Londoners, who are vying with Liverpool for the Premier League crown, were interested in the Brazilian. Actually, it’s thought that they have been keeping an eye on Cunha for the past three seasons.
He scored fourteen goals in all competitions in his one and only Premier League season, and he has already scored ten goals this season. Given that they are in a relegation fight, Wolves will not want to allow one of their best players to depart during the winter transfer window. Cunha’s current contract has two seasons left, and the team wants him to commit to the team for a longer period of time.
