Nottingham Forest is emerging as a rival to Arsenal in the race to sign Matheus Cunha, who is expected to leave Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of this season.
Despite playing for a struggling Wolves team, Cunha has been one of their standout performers, achieving double figures for goals in the league. His contributions have been crucial in helping the team avoid relegation, and his goals have played a significant part in ensuring their survival in the Premier League this term.
Wolves are eager to keep the Brazilian forward, and they extended his contract not long ago. However, the new deal includes a release clause, which any club can trigger during the upcoming summer transfer window. This clause could pave the way for Cunha’s departure, and both Arsenal and Nottingham Forest are reportedly keen on securing his services.
Arsenal is interested in purchasing Cunha and may be prepared to activate the release clause to bring him to the Emirates. However, Nottingham Forest is equally determined to add him to their squad. Forest views Cunha as the ideal player to strengthen their squad, especially as they prepare for a potential Champions League campaign next season. Forest has expressed serious interest, with reports from TalkSport suggesting that they are prepared to break their transfer record to sign the forward. This shows the club’s ambition, and if they manage to finish in the top four, they will have the financial means to compete with Arsenal for top players.
In comparison to some of Arsenal’s current attacking options, Cunha could provide a much-needed improvement. Both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have struggled to consistently find the back of the net this season, and Cunha’s form could provide Arsenal with a more reliable attacking option moving forward.
In conclusion, the battle for Matheus Cunha’s signature could heat up this summer, with both Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the mix. While Wolves are keen to retain the forward, the presence of a release clause means that he could be available for the right price, and both clubs will be hoping to secure his services.

Clubs can attempt to break their transfer records all they wish BUT a player will join whom he wants regardless of the offer made!
So Arsenal or Forest?
Who is Cunha most likely to join if those 2 clubs
are the only ones who make bids?
He’s a very good player, but I’d be very, very, surprised if we were after him. His temperament is what I think will put the club off signing him.
Sometimes we need such players.
Think of Eric Cantona and Robbie Keane.
We could have Lewis Skelly and Cunha.
It’s why Skelly is my favourite arsenal player. He’s got guts
I don’t remember Robbie Keane having the attitude that Cantona had.
MLS does stand up for himself, but unlike Cunha, he doesn’t attack the oppositions medical staff or kick off when receiving a Red Card.
HD
I think he meant Roy who remains feisty now
SueP, Roy Keane makes sense 👍
Herr Drier,
👍👍👍👍👍😉
I personally hope that anyone but us get him. For me he’s a good striker, but we need a striker who spends more time playing than being suspended because he’s got an attitude problem. He’s already been suspended twice this season.
No in my opinion we should steer well clear of this particular striker. 😉👍
Apart from him having an attitude problem, football wise, he’s not better than Gabriel Jesus if you ask me. What Arsenal needs right now is a traditional number 9 that can linkups play, score goals and also good in the air. Just Imagine if we have the Oliver Giroud type of player now with our crazy set piece routines.
Comparing GJ with Cunha is laughable, Cunha is banging in the goals without a quality midfield that GJ has at his disposal, while he scores every now and then, his goal conversion rate are pathetic and don’t let’s talk about his glassy legs and appaling injury record, Cunha with his aerial abilities and finishing is miles better
