Arsenal has been linked with a move for Matheus Cunha as the club looks to strengthen their attack in light of Bukayo Saka’s injury. The English winger has been a key figure for the Gunners, and his absence will be felt heavily. Although Saka’s talent may seem irreplaceable, Mikel Arteta is keen to bring in an attacking option to fill the void and bolster the squad for the second half of the season.
Cunha has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season, consistently delivering solid performances for his current club. His versatility and ability to play across the attacking positions make him a valuable asset, and this has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Arsenal. As they look to navigate the absence of Saka, Cunha could provide a much-needed option in attack, adding depth and quality to their forward line.
With the January transfer window open, there has been much speculation about potential signings for the Gunners. Fans are hopeful that the club will be active in the market, given their current aspirations for both domestic and European success. However, Arteta, when addressing the transfer rumours, emphasised that his focus remains on the resources already available within the squad.
The Arsenal manager stated, as quoted by Mirror Football: “Well, my focus honestly now is just about within the squad the resources we have to be as competitive as we possibly can. We have many, many options to do that. And if something unbelievable [becomes] available and if the club is willing to do it, we’ll have to consider it.”
As one of the most ambitious clubs in world football, Arsenal must continue to improve and adapt to their challenges. Strengthening their squad, especially in light of Saka’s injury, will be key to ensuring they remain competitive and in the hunt for silverware this season.

In the last part of that piece there’s a quote that states.
As one of the most ambitious clubs in world football.
I question there ambition to be honest, because if your telling me that signing players of the ilk, Calafiori, Merino, and taking Sterling on loan is showing ambition, then I seriously beg to differ on that score big time.
With an investment close to a billion pound, surely they have to be seen as ambitious with the winning Monster at the helm.
Gunsmoke,
Just because your backed financially, if you don’t spend it wisely which in a lot of cases Arteta hasn’t spent it wisely, it doesn’t matter how much money is thrown at it.
And as for your last statement, I can only hope you had your tongue firmly in your cheek about Arteta being a winning monster at the helm.
Because our trophy cabinet would tell you the true story on that front is concerned.🤦♂️
Derek,
The trophy cabinet isn’t currently creaking at the seams, that’s for sure but I just don’t see what the point is of banging the anti Arteta drum at every possible moment. Every club makes occasional boo boos in the transfer market. Would you say that for the money spent, that Grealish has been worth the transfer fee? There is barely a player at Man Utd that was worth their transfer fee and salary either. As fond of Ramsdale as I was, did Southampton buy wisely making him their highest earner by quite some margin on £120kpw? His ability in goal isn’t going to save them from returning to the Championship.
I am sure you can list a number of players that were signed by Arteta that haven’t been successful (Runarsson, Willian & Vieira to name 3) but that list wouldn’t include White, Odegaard, Rice, Timber, Trossard, Partey, Gabriel M, Havertz. The rest of the squad are hardly hopeless cases. We wouldn’t be in second place if they were. If I was NYG, I’d be just sayin….
