Arsenal target Matheus Cunha has offered the strongest suggestion yet that he will be leaving Wolves in the summer, with a number of Premier League clubs bracing themselves for a fierce competition to secure his signature.
Matheus Cunha has strongly suggested that he is ready to move on from Molineux this summer, putting Arsenal and other Premier League clubs on high alert. The Brazilian striker, who has been a standout performer for Wolves this season, has caught the attention of several top-flight giants, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
Cunha’s impressive form has been pivotal in Wolves’ fight to avoid relegation. With 13 goals and 4 assists in 26 league appearances, the 25-year-old has proven his worth as a top-tier striker. His contributions have not gone unnoticed, and his recent remarks have only fueled speculation about a potential move to Arsenal or another top club.
In a candid interview with The Guardian, Cunha expressed his gratitude to Wolves for their support but made it clear that he is eager to take the next step in his career. “I had a lot of offers, but I wouldn’t feel well if I had done it,” he said, referring to the January transfer window. “Some things you can’t control, but I couldn’t leave the club in the middle of the season, in a difficult situation, in the relegation zone. Now, we’re close to achieving our goal [of staying up]. But I’ve made it clear that I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things. I have potential.”
What Matheus Cunha’s Move Could Mean for Arsenal
Cunha’s ambitions align perfectly with Arsenal’s current trajectory. The Gunners, under Mikel Arteta, are looking to bolster their squad to compete for major honors. The recent appointment of Andrea Berta as Arsenal’s sporting director could play a crucial role in this potential transfer. Berta, who was instrumental in bringing Cunha to Atletico Madrid in 2021, shares a history with the player and could facilitate his move to North London.
Wolves, however, are not letting go without a fight. Cunha’s new contract, signed earlier this year, includes a hefty £62.5 million release clause, ensuring that any interested club, including Arsenal, will have to dig deep into their pockets. Despite this, Arsenal appears to be leading the race for his signature, with their need for a proven Premier League striker becoming increasingly urgent.
Arsenal’s Summer Transfer Plans Take Shape
As the summer transfer window approaches, the battle for Matheus Cunha’s signature is set to intensify. With his sights set on competing for titles and his undeniable talent, Cunha could be the missing piece in Arsenal’s quest for glory.
