Despite the fact that no player in his right mind would ever turn down an offer from Arsenal, I will never join the club unless they decide to sell this particular player before I arrive. I cannot be in the same dressing room as a player like that. Matheus Cunha, a forward for Wolves, has disclosed the presence of a single Arsenal player who is preventing him from joining the club in January.
Arsenal has expressed interest in Wolves forward Matheus Cunha, but they would have to face a significant challenge in order to get him during the transfer season. This is because the Brazilian is now engaged in a struggle to maintain his position at Molineux.
Arsenal’s interest in the 25-year-old player is believed to have been triggered prior to the injury sustained by Bukayo Saka, who will be sidelined for “many weeks” due to a hamstring injury sustained during a match against Crystal Palace. In addition, Raheem Sterling is not available due to a knee injury, which restricts Mikel Arteta’s options for forward play.
Due to his impressive performance over the course of the past three seasons, Arsenal has been keeping a close eye on Cunha, who was acquired from Atlético Madrid two years ago and eventually secured a permanent contract for a fee of £44 million. In his one and only full season in the Premier League, he scored 14 goals in all competitions, and despite Wolves’ struggles, he has put in displays that are eye-catching this season.
Wolves are striving to maintain their top-flight status for an eighth consecutive season, and it is believed that they are highly reluctant to allow one of their important players leave in January. This is because Wolves have spent the majority of the season in the bottom three.
The club is hoping for Cunha to commit his future to Wolves for a longer period of time after he has made a significant impression on the team since his arrival from Spain. Cunha has two full seasons left on his present deal at Wolves. Before beginning his career in Switzerland with Sion, he had previously played for Red Bull Leipzig and Hertha Berlin, both of which are located in Germany.
The manager of Wolves, Vitor Pereira, has acknowledged that he is prepared to receive proposals for Cunha, but he is adamant about retaining the Brazilian attacker during the transfer window that begins in January.
“I have high hopes that he will remain with us for a considerable amount of time; but, I am aware that, as a special player, he will have opportunities in his career. This is due to the fact that he is not only a special technical player, but he also possesses a good personality. In a moment of high pressure, he is able to take possession of the ball and create magic out of nothing,” remarked Pereira.
As a result of his performances in his first two matches in English football, which were victories over Leicester and Manchester United, Pereira will bring his perfect record into the match that Wolves will play against Tottenham this coming weekend. Ange Postecoglou, whom he had previously competed against earlier in his career, will be reunited with him.
