According to The Daily Telegraph, Arsenal are interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha during the winter transfer window, but the deal would be very difficult to complete.
With Saka sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury and Sterling also dealing with a knee problem, Arsenal are short on attacking options and are in urgent need of a new forward to boost their offensive power.
Cunha has been in excellent form in the Premier League this season, continuing his hot streak with a goal and an assist in the match against Manchester United.

Wolves are still fighting relegation, and Cunha is their key forward and top scorer.
The club has no intention of letting him leave in January.
Can Wolves keep hold of Cunha?
Additionally, Wolves are preparing to offer Cunha a lucrative contract extension in an effort to keep him at the club long-term.
Contract Extension Efforts
In an effort to secure Cunha’s long-term future at Molineux, Wolves have been preparing to offer him a lucrative contract extension. This move aims to keep Cunha at the club beyond the current season, despite interest from other Premier League clubs like Arsenal. In fact, Cunha has since signed a new contract extension until 2029, solidifying his commitment to Wolves.
Arsenal’s interest in Matheus Cunha reflects their desire to strengthen their attacking lineup, but the immediate acquisition of the Brazilian forward seems improbable. As Wolves continue to rely on Cunha for their Premier League survival, Arsenal will likely need to explore other options to address their attacking needs.
