Chelsea are in the mix for Matheus Cunha ahead of January, as Arsenal and PSG are the other sides interested in the Wolves forward.
According to Fichajes, Chelsea are the latest team to show an interest in Wolves striker Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian has been one of the in-form players in the Premier League as he has other big suitors ahead of January, including Arsenal and PSG. Meanwhile, he will cost around €70 million.
Matheus Cunha’s current form has attracted a lot of eyeballs ahead of the January transfer window. The Brazilian is an instrumental part of Gary O’Neil’s plans, especially given how difficult a position Wolves are in this season in the Premier League standings.
However, over the last few years, Matheus Cunha has shown a level of consistency that might make him a good fit for some of the sides higher up the table. In fact, some of those from the top end of the Premier League standings are eager, with Arsenal one of those keen, as are Manchester United alongside a host of other top-flight sides.
The Gunners are looking for a new forward in the upcoming window and might view Cunha as someone who would improve their attack. Chelsea are also in the mix for the Brazilian as Enzo Maresca eyes another forward to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku.
The Blues have found themselves in a fantastic position after Sunday as their win over Tottenham allowed Maresca’s side to close the gap on leaders Liverpool to four points. Them being in the race for Cunha alongside Arsenal would be a big factor ahead of January, although much will depend on Wolves and their stance on the forward. The Black Country outfit value him at €70 million.
Wolves are eager to keep Matheus Cunha
PSG are also in the mix for Cunha, meaning he might have a lot of opportunities coming his way ahead of January, as a stint in France may seem exciting for the Brazilian. However, Wolves are eager to keep him beyond in January as they are expected to fight a relegation battle. The club are eager to offer him an extension, although if an offer in excess of €70 million arrives on their table, a sale might be a possibility.
Cunha is not keen on signing a new contract and could open the doors to a switch, probably to another Premier League side. The €70 million-rated South American forward is in the time of his career that begs for big clubs to take him on board, as Wolves have a big fight on their hand given the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG are all keen on the Brazilian.
