Nottingham Forest have reportedly made Wolves striker Matheus Cunha their top priority for the January transfer window as they aim to strengthen their squad and move into the top four.
City Ground club eager to sign new striker before transfer deadlinewith the Daily Mail revealing that Cunha is identified as their main target. However, the 25-year-old Brazil international has attracted interest from several Premier League giants.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are among the clubs linked with the striker. But despite tough competition, Forest remain determined to pursue Cunha, who has scored 10 goals this season.
In their search for a striker, Forest recently submitted a £22 million bid for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, which was rejected. Now their attention has firmly turned to Cunha, despite the challenges posed by competing against top English clubs for his signature.
Arsenal contact Matheus Cunha over new deal
Arsenal have made contact with the representatives of Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Matheus Cunha over a possible move to the Emirates Stadium.
It’s no secret that the Gunners are in need of a striker to try to gain an advantage over Premier League leaders Liverpool.
FootballTransfers have reported that Cunha is a January option being seriously considered. The outlet states that the Brazilian’s current contract conflicts with his current team, which has encouraged Arsenal to revive their interest.
On Monday, Cunha was criticized by Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira for displaying “bad body language” during the 3-1 defeat to Chelsea. “It’s human that players start to be a little… it’s normal in football.”
“I had this conversation in the locker room. He may be frustrated because he wants to win, but everyone on the team wants to win.
“I don’t like this body language. I want someone as captain who tries to help the team – by running, by suffering, by fighting together. This is something I can understand. Next time I won’t understand. This is something that cannot happen again.
