Arsenal are reportedly still interested in Wolves striker Matheus Cunha for this January, as his situation remains one to watch, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Brazil international has shone for Wolves in the Premier League, contributing ten goals and four assists so far this season and looking like a player who would fit in at a bigger club.
Arsenal appear to need precisely this type of player after recent injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, with Cunha capable of playing out wide or up front to good effect.
See Romano’s latest details below as he says Arsenal and others are keeping an eye on Cunha’s situation as his relationship with Wolves manager Vitor Pereira looms as a potentially major issue…
??? Cunha’s situation between now and the end of January remains one to watch.
The new deal has yet to be formally signed, as reported two days ago, clubs showing interest in Arsenal are still interested and not only…

Cunha attracted criticism for his performance for Wolves against Chelsea last night, so perhaps all is not well for the 25-year-old at Molineux right now.
The transfer of Matheus Cunha could be crucial for Arsenal
It’s not easy to land quality signings mid-season, but Cunha looks like he could represent a good opportunity on the market.
The Gunners could land Cunha below market value as he is yet to sign a new contract with Wolves, so it’s no surprise that Romano has said this is one to watch out for.
Still, with the way Cunha has been playing, it also makes sense that there are other clubs in the running for his signature if he is indeed available.
Caught offside have also been previously reported Manchester United are interested in Cunhawhich makes sense after the poor form of the trio of Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund this season.
Arsenal would surely be the most tempting move, however, with Mikel Arteta’s side possibly still out of the title race, although they also have Champions League football on offer.
