Matheus Cunha, currently excelling at Wolverhampton Wanderers, is one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League. His recent form has caught the attention of several top clubs, and it now seems that the Brazilian forward is on the verge of making a move to one of England’s biggest teams. His performances have been impressive, and as the transfer window approaches, two major Premier League clubs are said to be competing for his signature.
Arsenal’s Push for Cunha
Arsenal, having had a strong season, is now focusing on bolstering its squad ahead of next season. After a narrow miss in winning the Premier League title and coming short in their bid to secure the Champions League, the Gunners are looking to strengthen their attacking options. As reported by Football Insider, Arsenal are prioritising a new striker for the team. Cunha has been identified as a key target to bolster their forward line. Given Arsenal’s near-guaranteed spot in the Champions League next season, they are hoping to use this as a selling point to lure Cunha to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners’ determination to improve their squad following an incomplete season means that they are prepared to do what it takes to secure Cunha’s signature. The club’s strong position in the Premier League and the allure of Champions League football could make them an attractive destination for the Brazilian.
Manchester United’s Striker Hunt
However, Arsenal is not the only club vying for Cunha. Manchester United, another club in search of a new striker, is also interested in signing him. Although United’s future in the Champions League next season is not guaranteed, they are hopeful of winning the Europa League to secure a place in the competition. The Red Devils are currently working hard to strengthen their squad, especially in attack, and Cunha represents a player who could provide the added depth and quality they are seeking.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding United’s qualification for the Champions League, they still believe they have a strong chance of attracting the Brazilian forward. With the financial resources and prestige of Manchester United, the club may yet be able to convince Cunha to make the move to Old Trafford, even if they are not playing in Europe’s elite competition next season.

If I was looking to waste 60-70 million on a striker, Cunha would be up there at the top. Add to the fact his behavior, and I don’t think Arteta is interested in dealing with another player of that ilk.
We were fortunate to dodge Zirkee, hopefully we will miss this one as well.
While i share your concerns regarding his “latin temperement” in terms of sheer footballing ability, Cunha is one of the best i have seen in the EPL this season
Arsenal do not touch Cunha with a barge poll. If you feel hard done by this season with the red cards, that’s nothing compared to the risk you’ll be taking on this particular striker.
Yes he knows where the goal is, but he’s got an attitude problem. Something the club don’t need.
Gone are days you just sign worlds best players and they go out and win games, footballs too defensive and drilled these days, you need systems and players in systems with keep ball skills to win games, can’t sign any striker, they have to fit the system. The system lacking mess that was Real Madrid shows us this.
Only two available signings slot in this Arsenal system perfectly – Cunha or Nkunku.
Cunha is top of my shopping list. I used to have doubts about Cunha’s attitude, but I have changed my mind. He will settle down as good team player at Arsenal. But also his ability has won me over. Whilst Gyorkeres doesn’t have the basic football skills for the tightness of the Premiership, and far too old now to coach these basics into him: first touch far too heavy and he does not shield the ball well, also slow to turn and his touches in transition take him away from the goal, Cunha’s skill set is his top trumps on those same key failings of Gyorkeres.
I’m 100% sure the Arsenal see it as I do, and Cunha will sign for us. He is going to prove an amazing signing.
Disagree on gyokeres – he doesn’t have the skills of Cunha, but I do think he has a good touch and can do everything you need a striker to do from a technical standpoint.
Interesting you mention nkunku – not sure if that was sincere, but I actually do think he’s a great player quality-wise, and a could be perfect fit for our team. It’s the injuries that would put me off taking a chance on him now tbh (plus the risk of taking someone who’s had a bad couple of years with Chelsea – if it didn’t work out, it’d be added to the list of stupid signings of unwanted players from rivals, going back to silvestre – no need to take that risk when there are others out there)
