Arsenal & Man Utd Gain Hope as Matheus Cunha Remains Open to Transfer

Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha could be on the move this month, as reports suggest the Brazilian international remains open to a transfer despite ongoing contract talks with Wolves.

Arsenal and Manchester United Show Interest in Cunha

Matheus Cunha has garnered attention from top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United, following an impressive season with 10 goals and 4 assists to his name. While Wolves have verbally agreed to a new contract with Cunha, the forward is reportedly hesitant to finalize the deal.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano described the situation as “open,” leaving room for potential bids from Cunha’s suitors. Arsenal and Manchester United are believed to be monitoring the situation closely as they explore options to strengthen their attacking lineups.

Vitor Pereira’s Criticism Adds to Uncertainty

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira added fuel to the speculation with his post-match comments after their 3-1 defeat to Chelsea. Pereira criticized Cunha’s body language and leadership, despite acknowledging his desire to win.

“He’s a captain, and frustration is understandable, but I won’t tolerate this attitude again,” Pereira remarked. However, he dismissed the notion that Cunha’s performance was affected by transfer speculation, stating, “He is committed to Wolves, but it’s human nature to listen when other clubs are interested.”

Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, and Tottenham Join the Race

Beyond Arsenal and Manchester United, Nottingham Forest have identified Cunha as their primary target for the remaining days of the winter transfer window. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also believed to be keeping tabs on the Brazilian forward, signaling a potential bidding war.
