Arsenal are continuing their pursuit of a striker to bolster their attacking options, with Wolves’ Matheus Cunha emerging as one of their primary targets for the upcoming transfer window.
The Brazilian forward has been putting in the hard work to establish himself in the Premier League, despite playing for a team struggling near the bottom of the table. Cunha has shown his potential, and it has not gone unnoticed by top clubs. Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has expressed an interest in working with the Brazilian star, who could be a valuable addition to the squad next season.
While Cunha may not yet possess the same profile as other strikers such as Alexander Isak or Victor Osimhen, he is seen as a versatile and skilled forward capable of contributing significantly. He is adept at playing behind the main striker and could form an effective partnership with another forward, providing tactical flexibility for Arteta’s system.
The Brazilian has also made no secret of his desire to play for a larger club, and Arsenal are keen to secure his services ahead of their Premier League rivals, including Liverpool, who are also monitoring his situation.
Despite not being as well-known as some of the other targets in the market, Cunha’s abilities and potential make him a worthwhile addition to the Gunners’ roster. Football Insider reports that Arsenal believe Cunha is good enough to contribute to their squad and help improve their attacking depth next season. The club might pursue both Cunha and a higher-profile forward, ensuring they have the necessary firepower to compete at the top level.
Arsenal are not solely focused on Cunha, as they are also keen to bring in a second forward to provide additional depth and options in attack, most likely Viktor Gyokeres, who David Ornstein claims is close to a move to the Emirates.
The Gunners’ forward line has been mixed this season and Arteta is aware that having more options will be crucial for both competition and rotation, particularly with the demands of competing on multiple fronts.

So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

Exactly what the Gunners need up front. Get Cunha and Gokyere and sell Jesus. Also get Williams, Nypan, Zubimmendi and another quality midfielder if Patey goes otherwise Zubby replacing Joginho is okay. Sell Nelson and viera and bring upgrades like Sane and Crystal palace Eze. This will undoubtedly be the
major upgrade to win both Epl and UCL
Samtex Anumba,
Do you really think that our club will go and buy every single player you mention.
A nice dream, but that’s all it is I’m afraid.
More addition is needed to compete for any silverware considering injury in the middle of the season.
Definitely not Cuhna. Not the calibre.
Reggie,
For me it’s his temperament that I question.
That as well.
Buy cunha to compete with Gyokeres then sell Jesus and sell Nelson and buy sane to compete with Saka and also buy zumumendi and sell jorgiho and sell transord and buy in Nico William to compete with martineli and keeper back up also needed buy Garcia then the season is done.
One top striker and a fit Havertz is what we need for the centre forward position. Sometimes we forget that Havertz, as much vilified as he is, remains a credible goal scorer for Arsenal. If not for his unfortunate injury, Havertz would have scored in excess of 20 goals this season
A winger on both sides with Trossard gone.
I’m also bothered about cover for Saliba with Tomiyasu now enjoying permanent residence at the treatment room. Can either of White or Timber do the job, or do we need a new signing? I wonder.
So minimum for me:
1. A striker(Gyokeres, Sesko, Ekitike…)
2. 2 wingers ( Nico Williams, Sane…..)
3. A defensive midfielder (Zubimendi…)
4. A reserve keeper ( Ramsdale, Marcia…)
Zubimendi and Partey in No. 6 position and a good reserve keeper
