With the injury to Bukayo Saka, Arsenal is obliged to densify its offensive sector to maintain hope in the title race against Liverpool. And the club’s priority is known: it is Matheus Cunha. The Wolverhampton striker is having a high-level season individually, with 10 goals in 20 games this season in all competitions, and is one of the major architects of Wolves’ comeback after a complicated start to the season.
Valued at more than 80 million euros, the Brazilian striker was already on the Gunners’ shelves last winter, but they preferred Leandro Trossard from Brighton. If this year Cunha is the priority target, the negotiations could take a turn for the worse. Indeed, according to the Daily MailWolverhampton say they are determined to extend their striker’s contract, which would put an end to transfer rumors surrounding the former Atlético de Madrid player. The agreement could include a release clause, but would formalize the fact that Matheus Cunha will finish the season with an orange and black jersey on his shoulders.
