Arsenal could reportedly look to complete a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Matheus Cunha in the summer transfer window after his solid season in the west Midlands – with the Gunners ‘seriously considering’ activating his release clause after a stellar Premier League campaign.
13 goals and four assists in just 25 games is an incredible tally for the Brazilian, especially for a team that are struggling at the bottom of the division. It’s seen huge clubs register their interest – and a move to north London could prove his worth as one of the best in the league if Mikel Arteta sees a deal over the line.

The Gunners are thought to be ‘seriously considering’ triggering his £62million release clause included in the contract he signed with Wolves at the end of January, with the ex-RB Leipzig man having had the best season of his career so far – and Arsenal’s immediate need for attackers thanks to injuries across their front line means that the club will be in the market for a front man in the summer.v
With the window approaching, the Premier League’s top clubs don’t want to miss out on signing the former Atletico Madrid star – and his release clause has opened the door to a potential move. Arsenal, according to the report, are ‘in the midst’ of establishing themselves as one of the league’s top sides and looking to add depth to their attack, Cunha could be the ideal capture, having been called ‘sensational’ in the past.
His future is hanging in the balance, and teams will be fighting for his signature – with the transfer market set to be decisive for the talented star, who will have plenty of options to choose from at the end of the season.
Cunha has been able to play across the front three so far during his career, and that versatility could be key for Arteta. Bukayo Saka’s injury means that Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri have been used out wide to different effects, but Cunha’s ability to play there – and up front – would be vital for Arteta.
