Wolves forward Matheus Cunha is attracting significant interest as Nottingham Forest and Arsenal are reportedly monitoring his situation. Despite being offered a new contract at Wolves, Cunha is weighing his options, leaving the door open for a potential move.
Arsenal’s Attacking Crisis
Arsenal is facing a serious shortage of attacking players due to injuries to key stars Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. Jesus’ knee injury is particularly troubling, as it has ruled him out for the remainder of the season. Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the issue, stating, “I think we are very short.”
Arsenal has already filled its domestic loan spots by signing goalkeeper Neto from Bournemouth and Raheem Sterling from Chelsea. Any move for Cunha would require a permanent deal or making one of the existing loans permanent to free up space.
Nottingham Forest’s Dual Targets
Nottingham Forest is also exploring options to strengthen its attack. In addition to Cunha, Forest has made a bid for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa. However, Brentford is reluctant to sell, with Forest’s offer reportedly falling below £22 million significantly lower than Brentford’s valuation.
What’s Next for Matheus Cunha?
With Arsenal’s urgency and Nottingham Forest’s interest, the competition for Cunha could heat up. Both clubs will need to act decisively to secure the Wolves forward, who appears to be in no rush to commit to a new deal.
