Arsenal are reportedly monitoring one of the Premier League’s in-form attacking players at the moment ahead of a potential summer transfer window.
The forward of the wolves Matheus Cunha He’s really catching the eye right now after nine goals and three assists in the Premier League so far this season.
Although he is not yet seen as a top target for Arsenal, the Gunners appear to have a long-standing interest in Cunha and could sense an opportunity if Wolves are relegated at the end of this season, according to informed The Athletic.
Arsenal are in “POSITIVE” talks about signing the Barcelona star!
The Brazil international looks like he could add something to this Arsenal attack, with Mikel Arteta missing some spark up front three times, especially now that Bukayo Saka is injured.
Matheus Cunha’s transfer would tick a lot of boxes for Arsenal
in truth, Cunha seems like he would make sense as Arsenal’s main target right now, more than in the summer.
The 25-year-old is really enjoying his football at the moment and could offer the Gunners something a little different in a number of positions as he can play up front or out wide.
While Gabriel Jesus is once again showing some of his best form, it seems like a bit of a gamble to just rely on him and the likes of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli for the next few months.
Arsenal already face a huge battle against Liverpool in the title race this season, and it’s hard not to see Arne Slot’s side running away with him unless Arteta is able to replace Saka.
Even with a fully fit Saka, there could be an argument to be made that this AFC side doesn’t have enough goal threat, so fans will surely be hoping that Cunha or someone similar ends up being their target this time around winter
