Wolves are bracing for a late transfer bid for their standout forward Matheus Cunha as the January transfer window nears its conclusion.
Arsenal is rumored to be leading the chase for the Brazilian attacker, who has lit up the Premier League this season with 10 goals and 4 assists in 22 appearances. With the transfer deadline fast approaching on February 3rd, speculation is mounting over Cunha’s future, with several clubs reportedly keeping tabs on the versatile forward.
Cunha’s performances have caught the eye, particularly at a time when Arsenal is grappling with injuries in their attack. Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined with a long-term injury, while Bukayo Saka’s return is still uncertain. Given Cunha’s ability to operate both as a central striker and out wide, he could be an ideal solution for Arsenal as they look to bolster their attacking options for the remainder of the campaign.
Reports suggest that Wolves are expecting offers from multiple clubs, not just Arsenal. Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest have also been linked with the 24-year-old forward. Wolves will undoubtedly be reluctant to part ways with a player who has been instrumental to their season, but a substantial bid could force their hand before the window closes.

For Arsenal, a move for Cunha could inject fresh momentum into their title push. While Liverpool currently leads the race, Arsenal remains within striking distance, particularly if they can strengthen their squad. With Cunha’s proven ability to score and create goals, he could be the spark Arsenal needs to mount a strong challenge in the second half of the season.
The Gunners will need to act swiftly if they hope to beat Villa and Forest to Cunha’s signature. Wolves, on their part, are in a strong position, with Cunha under contract and performing at a high level. However, a bidding war could drive up the price and test Wolves’ resolve, especially if the player expresses an interest in making the switch to a club competing for silverware.
As the clock ticks down on the January transfer window, all eyes will be on Arsenal to see if they can secure Cunha’s services. With their attacking ranks stretched thin, the Brazilian’s arrival could be the catalyst for a resurgence in form, reigniting their hopes of lifting the Premier League trophy. Whether Arsenal or another club swoops in, Cunha’s future is one of the most intriguing storylines of this transfer window.
