Arsenal are in the mix for Wolves’ Matheus Cunha and there are even suggestions that the players has agreed terms with the Gunners, but the two clubs aren’t in contact yet.
Sami Mokbel reports for the Daily Mail that Nottingham Forest are interested in Matheus Cunha in January, adding that Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the Wolves forward.
Forest previously made a bid for Yoane Wissa of Brentford, but that was turned down. They’re looking at Cunha as an alternative.
But Nathan Judah of the Express & Star reports that neither Forest nor Arsenal have made contact with Wolves for Cunha at this stage.
Even so, there are continued rumblings that Cunha could be on the move this month.
Team News and Ticks reports on Patreon that Cunha has agreed terms with both Arsenal and Wolves, and he’s currently delaying signing his extension with his current club in the hope that the move to north London might pan out.
On the Wolves side, Ryan Leister of The Wolves Report podcast claims it’s now more likely Cunha will depart than stay, as he’s keen to leave and a number of Premier League clubs have shown an interest in him.
All this comes against a backdrop of Cunha’s falling-out with a Wolves journalist as well as manager Vitor Pereira.
Liam Keen of the Express & Star had claimed Cunha went “straight down the tunnel” after the game, and when that claim was put to Wolves boss Pereira, he responded: “This is something I cannot understand.
“I don’t like this body language. I want someone, as a captain, trying to help the team – running, suffering and fighting all together.”
Only, as it turns out, the reports were incorrect. Video footage shows that Cunha did briefly stop to applaud the fans before heading down the tunnel, and the player himself hit back on Twitter.
“Liar,” Cunha wrote to Keen. “I went to applaud them, congratulated the referees and the opposing players. Then I went to the tunnel. Don’t ever come and ask me to give you an interview again.”
The situation is certainly threatening to boil over in the final 12 days of the January transfer window.
